Scholarship

Kenergy, an electric cooperative serving member-owners in 14 western Kentucky counties, has established an annual scholarship program to assist in financing the higher education of students whose families are electric customers of the cooperative.

Kenergy, through random drawings to be held on June 12, 2012 during the Annual Membership meeting held at Owensboro's Sportscenter, will award up to twenty-four (24) scholarships in the amount of $500 each as one-time awards to qualifying students.

The scholarship can be used for tuition, books, housing, lab fees or other costs directly related to the recipient’s education.

Scholarship funds will be paid directly to the student contingent upon the submission of proof to Kenergy of his/her full-time student status in the fall of 2012 or spring of 2013, and the payment of eligible expenses for reimbursement.

Scholarship monies not requested and/or used during the academic year, i.e., fall semester of 2012 or the spring semester of 2013, will be forfeited.

The scholarships will be awarded without regard to race, creed, religion, gender, handicap or national origin.
