2025 High School Scholarship Winners

Published on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 in Scholarships

We recently awarded $1,000 scholarships to four local students based on their academic achievements, leadership, and community involvement. All four are children of MEC customers. Scholarships are funded via partnership dollars through our power supplier, Wolverine Power Cooperative.

Applicants were told to select one of MEC's three main services (electric, propane, and fiber internet) and film a commercial promoting it using whatever creative and artistic touches they could think of.

High school seniors whose families receive monthly service from MEC at their primary residence are eligible to apply for our scholarship program. The application period is January through mid-March every year. Selection is based on the student's answer to the challenge prompt as well as academic performance, extracurricular activities, community involvement, employment, and/or honors and awards.

A minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required, and an official transcript must be submitted for final approval. Please note that children of MEC employees and board members are not eligible to apply.
