The Les Beach Memorial Scholarship is available to local students from more than 35 area high schools. Qualified students must be co-op members through their parents or legal guardians who receive electric services from Lake Country Power.
The Les Beach Memorial Scholarship is made possible through abandoned and unclaimed capital from previous members who can no longer be located.
Lake Country Power also offers $1,000 scholarships to area community college foundations and three Minnesota lineworker schools. These scholarships support students interested in pursuing hands-on skilled trades and community/technical college programs. Applications for these scholarships are available directly through the colleges.
The web-based application process for high school seniors will open this winter when qualifying high school seniors can apply for next year’s scholarships. Dates will be announced this fall; the application will be available online at www.lakecountrypower.coop.
