T.I.P. Rural Electric Cooperative takes pride in helping develop leaders in the communities we serve so we started a scholarship program to recognize academic and community achievements made by young adults. These scholarships are considered an investment in the economic future of rural areas.
T.I.P. Rural Electric Cooperative is offering three scholarship opportunities:
- One $500 scholarship will be awarded to each school district in our service territory. These scholarship applicants must be graduating seniors whose parents/guardians are members of T.I.P. REC. Applicants must plan to enroll in an accredited two-year or four-year college, university or vocational/technical school.
