Thomas H. Moore Scholarship Program
 |
| Tess Helgren, Carbondale High School and 2007 recipient, accepts scholarship from Allen Haake, Egyptian Electric Cooperative. |
High school seniors pursuing a college education are eligible to participate in the program. Four of the seven scholarships will be awarded to the son or daughter of an electric cooperative member. A fifth scholarship, the Earl W. Struck Memorial Scholarship, will go to the son or daughter of an electric cooperative director or employee. The sixth and seventh scholarships are reserved for students enrolling full-time at a two-year Illinois community college who are the sons or daughters of Illinois electric cooperative members, employees or directors. Deadline for applications to be returned to the cooperative is Jan. 1, 2010.
The purpose of the scholarship program is to assist electric cooperative youth while honoring past rural electric leaders through memorial gifts. Egyptian Electric and the other Illinois electric cooperatives desire to make a difference in our communities. One of the best ways to do that is to lend a hand to our youth.
Candidates are judged on the basis of grade point average, college entrance exam scores, work and volunteer experience, school and civic activities, and a short essay which demonstrates their knowledge of electric cooperatives. The IEC Memorial Scholarship Program was established in 1994 by the board of directors of the Association of Illinois Electric Co-operatives. For further information on the IEC Memorial Scholarship Program, contact Egyptian Electric at 618-965-3434, or ask your high school guidance counselor.
