Pioneer Electric Cooperative opens scholarships for students

Pioneer Electric Cooperative has opened its scholarship programs for graduating students of accredited high schools in Butler, Dallas, Lowndes or Wilcox counties.

The company is sponsoring seven $1,000 scholarships to "traditional" students who are continuing their studies at post-secondary or vocational/technical institutions.

Those who receive these scholarships are required to be dependents of Pioneer Electric members. 

The lineworker program is offering two $5,000 scholarships for eligible students who attend an accredited 15-week lineworker training program. They do not have to be dependents of Pioneer Electric members. 

The deadline to apply is Feb. 20 and can be done here.
