West Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation scholarship and education tour opportunities are available for high school students. Applications are due March 6.

High school juniors and seniors whose parents or guardians receive power from West Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative are invited to apply for the cooperative’s annual Scholarship Program and Washington Youth Tour program. 

Applications for both programs are now available at high school guidance counselors’ offices, online at www.wkrecc.com, or at any West Kentucky RECC office and are due on March 6. 

The Scholarship Program annually awards eight $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors who will be pursuing higher education in the next year. To be eligible for the program, you must be a high school senior in good standing and your parent or guardian must be a member of and receive electric service from West Kentucky RECC at their principle residence. Two high school seniors from each of the cooperative’s four districts are chosen for the award of academic achievement.   

Two high school juniors in the West Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative service area are chosen each year to participate in the Rural Electric Youth Tour Program, sponsored jointly by WKRECC and the Kentucky Association of Electric Cooperatives. Students who participate in this program will receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. where they will spend a week with other cooperative representatives touring the city and meeting with Kentucky’s congressional delegation.   

Questions about either program can be directed to Georgann Lookofsky at 270-247-1321 or 1-877-4WKRECC (1-877-495-7322).
