SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WICS) — City Water, Light and Power (CWLP), in partnership with the Illinois Municipal Utilities Association (IMUA), is offering high school seniors a scholarship opportunity for four $2,500 awards to be given this spring.
CWLP says the scholarship seeks to recognize students for their essay writing and understanding of electric and water supplier issues, and to increase awareness of the value municipally-owned utility systems.
Applicants must be high school seniors whose parents or legal guardians are residential customers of CWLP or another IMUA-member utility. Eligible students are asked to submit an application and an essay of 500 words or less addressing their choice of one of two utility-related questions.
The deadline for submitting applications and essays is Friday, March 14, 2025.
A committee of municipal utility officials will select a total of four finalists, each of whom will receive a certificate and a $2,500 scholarship award. Winners will be announced in April. Application packets and more information is available online.
