Since 1995, Southwestern Electric Cooperative’s Power for Progress Scholarship Program has provided more than $266,000 in academic assistance to students pursuing a college degree or vocational school certificate. The tradition continues this year with Southwestern’s pledge to award $10,000 in scholarship money to 10 students in spring 2021 for use in the fall 2020 semester.

Scholarship recipients can apply the funding to tuition at any accredited university, college or technical school in the U.S.

Separate applications will be provided for high school seniors graduating in 2021 and students who graduated from high school in previous years.

The completed application and supplemental materials—including a cover letter, academic transcripts, attendance records and financial information—must be delivered to Southwestern Electric’s headquarters (525 U.S. Route 40 in Greenville), in a single envelope, by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 12, 2021.
