Scholarship Application | Morgan County REA

Morgan County REA Scholarship Program: Application Deadline is February 16

Through partnerships with Tri-State Generation and Transmission and Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Morgan County REA is once again proudly sponsoring a total of nine college or vocational scholarships for students who reside within the outer boundaries of MCREA’s service territory, and whose family (parents or grandparents) receives electric service from MCREA. For the 2023-2024 school year, MCREA will award five $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors and one $1,000 scholarship to a current postsecondary student who will be returning to college or trade school. Tri-State will award two $500 scholarships to graduating seniors, and Basin Electric Power Cooperative will award one $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior.

All completed application materials must be submitted by Friday, February 16. Only one set of application materials is necessary to apply for scholarships from all three cooperatives. Students applying for the $1,000 scholarship awarded to a current college or trade school student need not be previous MCREA scholarship winners to qualify. Please complete and submit the application below to apply.

If you have any questions about MCREA's scholarship program, please contact MCREA's member services department at memberservices@mcrea.org or call (970) 867-5688.
