The REC Community Scholarship program is part of the Cooperative’s continued commitment to advancing education and investing in the communities it serves. It is another example of the value the Cooperative provides - beyond delivering safe, reliable and affordable electricity. Each year, these scholarships recognize high school seniors and current college or technical school students who have shown strong academic performance and meaningful community involvement. REC awarded $20,000, including two $2,500 scholarships and fifteen $1,000 scholarships.

REC is proud to recognize the 2026 scholarship recipients.
