La Plata Electric Association Inc. announces two opportunities for students in its service area: the Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., for high school juniors, and scholarship programs for graduating high school seniors and GED graduates.
Applications are now open for the tour, a leadership experience designed for juniors. Selected participants will travel to Washington, D.C., in June to learn about the electric cooperative industry, meet legislators and connect with peers from across the country. The application deadline is Jan. 2, and students can apply or learn more at lpea.coop/lpea-youth-tour.
LPEA is also accepting applications for its rolling scholarship programs, open to graduating high school seniors and GED recipients within LPEA’s service territory. Scholarships provide financial assistance for higher education, including four-year universities, two-year colleges and vocational programs.
Students and their families can attend a webinar on Feb. 12 to learn more about the application process and tips for crafting a strong submission. Scholarship applications are due by March 1. For more details, visit lpea.coop/scholarships.
