The Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC) has announced that six students whose families are served by the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) have been awarded $1,000 scholarships apiece by the VMDAEC’s Education Scholarship Foundation.
“VMDAEC’s 80th anniversary comes as we also celebrate our millionth dollar of scholarships awarded since the Foundation’s inception in 2001,” said Russell G. “Rusty” Brown, chair of the VMDAEC Education Scholarship Foundation Board. “These two important milestones merited an extraordinary celebratory act on our part. To that end, we decided to give $80,000 in scholarships – the most we have ever given in the history of the foundation.”
The association awarded 65 scholarships in all, based on financial need, academic achievement, community involvement, and personal history. Several co-op specific scholarships were also awarded.
All scholarship winners are planning to attend a two- or a four-year school in the fall.
