Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative awarded $77,500 to the sons and daughters of co-op members in the Class of 2022 through its Community Service Scholarship program. Sixty-two scholarship recipients will each receive $1,250 to continue their education after high school.
Scholarship eligibility is based on community service, not academic grades, athletic performance or financial need.
“Polk-Burnett’s scholarship program recognizes students who demonstrate cooperative spirit and make a difference in the lives of others,” said Polk-Burnett Communications Director Joan O’Fallon. “We had an outstanding group of candidates this year. We thank all who applied and appreciate their community service. Congratulations to all 2022 graduates and their families.”

Since 1987, Polk-Burnett has awarded more than $919,000 to high school seniors. Scholarship recipients demonstrate community service and their parents are members of the co-op.
Polk-Burnett’s scholarship program does not affect electric rates; it is funded with unclaimed Capital Credits that if not used for education would be forfeited to the state, and by the generosity of co-op members who donate Capital Credits to the scholarship fund. If you would like to donate your future Capital Credits to the co-op’s scholarship fund, please call or visit our webpage for an enrollment form.
