Scholarships

The CEC board of trustees is committed to education. That’s why the co-op offers multiple scholarship opportunities for high school seniors who are looking to further their education at college or technical college.

Each year through the Electric Cooperative Foundation in Montgomery, CEC offers two $1,000 scholarships (one for a senior heading to college and one for a senior heading to technical college) at each high school served by the cooperative. These schools include Red Level, Kinston, Brantley, Samson, Pleasant Home, and Straughn.

The primary requirements to apply for a scholarship are the applicant must be the dependent of a CEC member and a senior in high school.

These scholarships are offered in addition to the two At-Large $1,000 Scholarships (one for a senior heading to college and one for a senior heading to technical college) that are available to eligible high school seniors attending schools not served by CEC.

CEC does not accept scholarship applications at any of its offices. All applications with required attachments must be received by the Electric Cooperative Foundation in Montgomery, AL, by the stated deadline. No Postmarks.

The deadline to submit a scholarship application for this school year has passed.

For students entering your senior year this fall, be on the lookout for information relating to scholarships that will be available for the next school year. A link to that application will be placed here before Dec. 1, 2026 with a probable application deadline in February 2027.
