Area students receive ECE scholarships

This spring, ECE awarded $1,000 scholarships to 60 ECE-member high school graduates and community college students.

The $1,000 scholarships are given annually to students whose parents or guardians are ECE members. Recipients are selected by officials at their school based on financial need and academic achievement. If those are equal, the decision is based on community service. ECE has awarded over $550,000 in scholarships since the program began.

"ECE is excited to be able to use this money for something as valuable as education and to help area students embark on a bright future, said Jennifer Veeser, ECE Communications manager. "These scholarships are available as the result of Capital Credits which have remained unclaimed after several attempts to locate former members of the cooperative."
