As part of Fayette Electric Cooperative’s commitment to education, the cooperative will award six $1,500 scholarships to area high school seniors whose parents or guardians are members of the cooperative and reside in Fayette Electric’s service area. 

“Fayette Electric created the scholarship program 21 years ago to assist with the educational pursuits of students desiring a higher education and will continue the tradition by making the 2020 Rural Scholarship Program available to qualified applicants,” said Fayette EC General Manager Gary Don Nietsche. 

The scholarship guidelines have been sent to the counselors of all area high schools. Students can download the application here.

Scholarship applications must be returned to Fayette Electric’s office no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, March 2, 2020.  No late applications will be accepted.

Applications submitted to Fayette Electric will be reviewed and evaluated by an independent panel of judges who will select six students to receive scholarships.
