Kenergy has established an annual scholarship program to assist in financing the higher education of students whose families are cooperative members. In 2023, the cooperative will award three $1,000 scholarships and twenty-four $500 scholarships. Scholarships can be used for tuition, fees, campus housing, textbooks, computers, school supplies and other costs directly related to the recipient’s education.
On Wednesday, July 5, 2023 a random computerized drawing will be held for three $1,000 scholarships and twenty-four $500 scholarships. Winners will be notified by email on that date and must send a return email to Jeanette Weedman by Friday, July 7th verifying they received notification and accept the scholarship according to Kenergy guidelines or they will forfeit and another winner may be drawn.
