Power Your Future

Tri-County Electric Cooperative's Scholarship Program assists our young members with their future education. We are helping Power your Future and your education.

We are excited to continue providing the means to further our young members' education. In 2025, we are awarding fifty (50) $5,000 scholarships to high school seniors pursuing an academic degree or certification from an accredited university, college, junior college, or technical school. 

In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a current senior in high school graduating in 2025
  • Reside with parents or legal guardians who are members of TCEC
  • Additional details on the application guidelines will be posted in October 2024
  • The application is available and will close on February 7, 2025

 

Scholarship applications will be evaluated by an independent third-party, not affiliated with Tri-County Electric, and will be awarded in the spring. 

Immediate family of Tri-County Electric's Leadership Team are not eligible to apply.

 

How Our Scholarships Are Funded

The TCEC Scholarship program is paid for using unclaimed funds, such as capital credit checks, that have not been cashed in three years. Texas law permits electric cooperatives to use a portion of these funds for limited purposes such as scholarships. These dollars would go to the state's general funds if TCEC did not repurpose them and reinvest the funds back into the local community.
