Medina EC Scholarships

STAY TUNED FOR INFORMATION ON THE 2014 SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST

In 2013, Medina Electric Cooperative awarded 30 graduating seniors and adults pursuing a higher-education $1,000 each in scholarship money. The money that funds the co-op’s scholarship program comes from unclaimed capital credits that are returned by the State of Texas each year.

"MEC has provided 174 scholarships to students in our community since 2001, totaling $390,000," said CEO Mark Rollans. "We are proud we have been able to help these students achieve their educational goals."

Applications for the Medina EC Scholarships will be available on this page the first week of January 2014. For additional inquires, call Member Relations Specialist Jennifer Olson at (830) 741-7251.

History of the Scholarship Program

Medina EC's scholarship program was implemented with help from Texas State Law, House Bill (HB) 3202. Enacted in 1997, this HB allows nonprofit electric cooperatives to use unclaimed capital credit money to offer scholarships.

Graduating seniors and adults who are pursuing higher-education are encouraged to apply for a Medina EC scholarship.
