What is West Plains Electric Cooperative's
Scholarship Program?
The West Plains Electric Scholarship Program is designed to encourage
and recognize the academic achievements of the members of West Plains
Electric Cooperative and/or their dependent children. This recognition
will be in the form of scholarships to assist with their college
education.
How much is the scholarship?
The West Plains Electric Cooperative Scholarship Program will award
two scholarships in the amount of $500 each through Basin Electric
Power Cooperative. Ten scholarships in the amount of $250 each will
be awarded through West Plains Electric Cooperative. A total of
$3500 in scholarships will be awarded. The scholarships must be
used for educational costs, and the student must enter college in
the fall of the school year for which the scholarship is given.
Checks will be made payable jointly to the student and the school,
and must be endorsed by both parties. West Plains Electric Cooperative
will present the scholarship award during a recognition ceremony
at the cooperative's annual meeting in Dickinson in June.
Who is eligible to receive the scholarship?
Dependent children of members are eligible. Also eligible are members
of West Plains Electric Cooperative. The applicant must be a student
who is enrolled or planning to enroll in a full-time graduate or
undergraduate course of study at an accredited, two-year or four-year
college, university or vocational/technical school. West Plains
Electric Cooperative scholarships will be awarded without regard
to any loans or financial assistance the applicant may have obtained.
How are the recipients selected?
Awards are based on academic excellence, which includes the following
criteria: SAT/ACT scores, grade-point average, work experience,
participation in school and community activities, a statement by
the student explaining his/her educational and career goals, and
a written recommendation by a third party. A West Plains selection
committee will screen applications. The decision of the committee
is final.
What are the recipient's obligations?
Except for the requirements outlined in this brochure, no obligations
will be imposed upon the student as a scholarship award winner.
Other than payment of the scholarship, no obligations or liability
are assumed by West Plains Electric Cooperative.
