High school seniors whose
parents/guardians are customer-members of an electric cooperative in
Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, and whose primary residence is served
by the cooperative, are eligible to apply for college or technical
school scholarships awarded by the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware
Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC) Educational Scholarship
Foundation.
Recipients are chosen based on financial need (40%),
academic achievement (40%) and school/community involvement (20%).
Applicants must provide evidence of acceptance in a post-high school
educational institution or program. The scholarship funds are sent
directly to the educational institution and placed in the student’s
account. These can be used to pay for tuition, fees and books.
In 2009, the VMDAEC Educational Foundation awarded 48
scholarships totaling $43,500 to deserving students in the Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware Electric Cooperative territory. Since its
inception in 2000, 262 students have received VMDAEC scholarships. The
number of scholarships awarded each year is based on the funds
available.
