PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The New Hampshire Electric Co-op Foundation (NHEC Foundation) is now accepting applications for the 2020 scholarship program.   

 The NHEC Foundation will award six $1,500 scholarships in 2020 (one of which will be reserved for a student entering a vocational/technical institution) to support and enhance the education and resulting careers of our members and their children.  Applicants must be at least a senior in high school at the time of applying and must be either a Co-op member or the child/dependent of a Co-op member. College and non-traditional students are eligible and welcome to apply. The deadline for applications is April 24, 2020.

For eligibility criteria and scholarship applications for both programs, please visit the Community tab on our website at www.nhec.com or call 603-536-8884.

 The NHEC Foundation is funded by the generosity of over 40,000 New Hampshire Electric Co-op members who participate in the Round Up Program. Participating members agree to have their monthly electric bill rounded up to the next dollar with the proceeds benefiting the NHEC Foundation.  To learn more about the NHEC Foundation, enroll in the Round Up Program or apply for a Foundation grant, please visit www.nhec.com/nhec-foundation.
