Four scholarships will be awarded to students who are the sons or daughters of an Illinois electric cooperative member who is currently receiving service from the cooperative at the time the scholarship application is submitted.
A fifth scholarship will be awarded to a student who is the son or daughter of an Illinois electric cooperative employee or director.
A scholarship applicant is eligible for consideration in only one of the two above categories, and is eligible to apply through only one electric cooperative. The above scholarships may be used for educational costs at any two-year or four-year accredited college or university in the United States, including vocational/technical schools.
A sixth and seventh scholarship will be reserved for use at a two-year Illinois community college. Sons and daughters of Illinois electric cooperative members, employees and directors are eligible.
The applicant must be a high school senior.

Scholarships will be awarded based on grade point average, college entrance test scores, work and volunteer experience, participation in school and community activities, biographical statement and knowledge of electric cooperatives as demonstrated by a short essay.
