VMDAEC Education Scholarship Foundation

 

If you are a high school or home school senior, you may qualify to apply for the Educational Scholarship offered through the VA-MD-DE Association of Electric Cooperatives. To be eligible, the primary residence of your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must be located in a service territory of a VA-MD-DE Association’s electric cooperative member.   

The Foundation Board selects scholarship recipients and scholarship amounts that are awarded based on three major criteria: financial need at 40%, academic achievement at 40%, and a personal statement at 20%.

This year, the VMDAEC Educational Scholarship Foundation received 212 applications from students in areas served by electric cooperatives in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. From these, the Foundation selected 48 applicants to receive Worth M. Hudson Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each and two applicants to receive C.D Hypes Memorial Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each for a total of 50 high school seniors. Over the past 13 years, 409 students from throughout Virginia, Maryland and Delaware have received a VMDAEC Educational Scholarship. The number of scholarships awarded each year is based upon funds available and these grants can be used towards the payment of tuition, student fees and room or board or the purchase of books.
