Since 1995, Southwestern Electric Cooperative’s Power For Progress Scholarship Program has provided close to $300,000 in academic assistance to students pursuing a college degree or vocational school certificate. The tradition continues this year with Southwestern’s pledge to award 12 $1,200 Southwestern Electric Scholarships and one $1,200 Alan G. Libbra Memorial Scholarship to students in spring 2024 for use in the fall 2024 semester. 

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

Scholarship applications may be downloaded using the links below. You'll find separate applications for high school seniors graduating in 2024 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 Monday, March 11, 2024.
