Norris Electric awarded 7 scholarships for a total of $5,000 in 2020

The Cooperative awards 4 - $500 random scholarships each year to Seniors served by the cooperative attending our Annual meeting held in February.

3 - $1,000 scholarships are awarded to outstanding students served by the cooperative by application each year. Eligibility varies but in general overall academic achievement (such as GPA and ACT/SAT scores), extracurricular activities and community involvement rank high in the evaluation process. A brief written essay is required, and the applicant's primary residence must be in Norris Electric's service territory.

Scholarship applications are not currently being accepted. Please check back in November for 2021 scholarships applications.
