Scholarships

Commitment to community is one of the basic foundations on which Wiregrass Electric Cooperative stands. In our efforts to support the young people of our community, Wiregrass Electric sponsors a $1,000 educational scholarship to a high school senior. Click here for information about Wiregrass Electric's 2008 scholarship winner, Matthew Daniels of Rehobeth.

The scholarship is awarded as part of the Electric Cooperative Foundation, Inc., which was created by the electric cooperatives of Alabama in 1997 to provide scholarships for qualifying high school seniors. The scholarships are for study at post-secondary or vocational/technical institutions.

To qualify, a student’s parent or legal guardian must be a member of Wiregrass Electric. The recipient is selected by an independent panel of judges.

Applications may be obtained in January from any Wiregrass Electric office, from area high school guidance counselors or by calling 1-800-239-4602.
