Since 1981, St. Croix Electric Cooperative has awarded more
than $260,000 in scholarships to dependents of Cooperative
members. Funds for scholarships come from members’
unclaimed equity capital credits and are managed by the
Federated Youth Foundation. In 2017, $18,000 was awarded
to 20 area seniors who are planning to attend a one-, two- or
four-year college next fall. Selection for scholarships includes
consideration for accomplishments in academics, community
involvement, cooperative knowledge, scholastic activities,
demonstration of leadership and financial need. The scholarship
program is divided into two categories: technical schools (oneor two-year programs), $500; and four-year institutions, $1,000.
