Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative grants scholarships to local graduating seniors

Five area high school seniors have been selected to receive Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative’s (CVEC) 2023 scholarships. The cooperative received a total of twenty-six applications from nine different schools this year.

The five scholarship winners, all children of CVEC members, were chosen through an application and essay process conducted by judges from surrounding cooperatives.

Each year, CVEC offers four $1,000 individual scholarships to students who plan to pursue a post-secondary education in any field of study. In addition, a $1,500 individual scholarship is offered to a graduating senior who plans to attend an accredited electrical lineworker program and/or climbing school/training center.
