SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Salt River Electric has been awarding four $1000 scholarships to deserving students for the past 15 years. Past winners have been chosen from four of the major counties we serve, Nelson, Washington, Spencer, and Bullitt counties. These students have to be high school seniors, with a 2.5 GPA, and in good standing. Candidates are required to reside in our service area and must be enrolled in an accredited educational training institution for the coming fall semester.

Scholarships are awarded based on an essay written by the candidate and also by financial need. Each year we receive about 50 entries from many talented and bright students in our service area. We then assemble a scholarship selection committee to choose the winners. The winners are then awarded the scholarships during our Annual Membership Meeting, usually held in June of each year.

Education is important to us here at Salt River Electric and we're proud to recognize and reward outstanding students in our community by offering scholarships to assist them in furthering their education. See our scholarship application for details.
