Millersburg-based Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative, Inc. is reminding area high school students that applications are being accepted for its 2010 scholarship program. The member-owned electric utility will award six cash scholarships in all, totaling $9,000. Students will compete in two divisions (boys and girls) for scholarships of $2,000, $1,500, and $1,000 in each division. Robyn Tate, the co-op’s public relations/human resource specialist, said all eligible students are encouraged to apply. The contest is open to high school seniors who have a grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale, will be attending an accredited institution of higher learning next fall, and whose parents are members of and live in a home served by the Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative. Local first-place winners will compete in May for the statewide rural electric scholarship, with the highest award being $2,755. Applications and a complete set of rules for the scholarship competition can be obtained from the school’s guidance office, or at www.hwecoop.com. Deadline for completed applications to be returned to the cooperative is Feb. 12, 2010.
