Contributed report
Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association (WH) recently awarded $29,800 in scholarships to 21 local students to help them continue their education. WH’s scholarship program began in 1988 and has awarded more than $709,750 to local students. Scholarships are made possible with funding from unclaimed capital credits as well as contributions from diversified businesses under WH Holding.
WH and WH Holding are proud to provide scholarships to assist students in furthering their education, WH representatives said.
The scholarship fund was created after a state law was passed allowing unclaimed capital credits to be put into an education fund. This allows WH to invest in the area’s youth without impacting members’ electric rates.
WH local school scholarship
WH provides one scholarship to each school in its electric service area to award to an outstanding student pursuing higher education. The scholarship winners are selected by the school themselves. WH also offers one “at-large” scholarship for students who are homeschooled or attend a school neighboring WH’s electric service territory. The following recipients received a WH local school scholarship this year:
