GVEC Encourages High School Seniors

to Apply for Scholarship

Application Deadline is March 1, 2012

Applications are now being accepted for the GVEC Scholarship program for graduating high school seniors planning to continue their education. Last year, the Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC) awarded a total of $37,500 to 15 outstanding students across the GVEC service territory.

Scholarship recipients are selected based on a combination of criteria including scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, community service and ambition to further their education. To be considered, students must submit a resume, high school transcript and a GVEC Scholarship Application, available online or at any GVEC area office. Area school counselors also have applications.

“We want students to have the opportunity to reach their full potential, which is something we can help them accomplish through the GVEC Scholarship program,” says GVEC General Manager and CEO Darren Schauer. “We are proud to reward our area’s students for their hard work as well as their commitment to higher education.”

To be eligible for a scholarship, the student’s parents or primary guardian must have an active GVEC electric account. The student must also be a 2012 high school graduate able to meet admission requirements of the university or trade school selected.
