Tri-County Electric Cooperative (TCEC) is proud to announce the recipients of the TCEC Energizing Education Scholarships: from Madison County High School (MCHS), Alison Underhill; and from James Madison Preparatory High School (JMPHS), Jacob Driggers, Mikenzi Plain, Jadyn Gore and Kayla Reeves.
TCEC's Energizing Education Scholarship, established by the Board of Trustees, was created in an effort to provide educational support for qualified members and their families in Jefferson, Madison and Taylor Counties. High school seniors and non-traditional undergraduate students are eligible to apply. Ten scholarships of $2,000 each, were awarded to students planning to continue their education at various accredited universities, community colleges or technical colleges in the state of Florida.
Applicants for the scholarship are evaluated not just on GPA or class rank, but for their community service and extracurricular activities as well.
"Because of the challenges students are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic we made changes to this year's application requirements and process to ensure our scholarship was accessible to all of the qualifying seniors in the four counties we serve," says Kaitlynn Culpepper, Community Relations Director. "The 2020 scholarship recipients are hardworking, determined, goal oriented young people and we are honored to have a small part in their future success."
The TCEC Energizing Education Scholarship has been made possible through the Energizing Education program in which TCEC members elect to have their monthly statement rounded up to the next dollar and those cents set aside to fund education scholarships.
TCEC provides safe, reliable and affordable electric service to over 13,000 residential, commercial and industrial members in Taylor, Madison, Jefferson and Dixie County.
