Sam Houston Electric Cooperative awards scholarships each year to high school seniors whose parents or guardians are active consumer-members of the Cooperative.
The money that funds the scholarship program comes from unclaimed capital credits that are returned to the Cooperative by the state of Texas and earmarked for scholarships.
After careful consideration of applicants’ academic achievements, activities, college plans and personal recommendations, Sam Houston EC awarded $85,500 in scholarships to 32 students.
Scholarship recipients may apply the funds toward tuition and fees at the Texas college or university of their choice.
Since its inception in 1992, the scholarship program has awarded more than $1.5 million to nearly 800 local students.
