Scholarships

Co-op scholarships available for high school graduates

Mor-Gran-Sou Electric Cooperative takes pride in assisting with the development of rural leadership through our scholarship program. We feel it’s important to help finance our local students’ educational journeys by offering four $500 scholarships to qualifying seniors.

The scholarship program, sponsored by Mor-Gran-Sou and Basin Electric Power Cooperative, is designed to encourage and recognize the achievements of the children of cooperative members. To qualify, students must be enrolled or plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate or graduate course of study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university or vocational/technical school. They must be U.S. citizens and dependents of Mor-Gran-Sou members.

As in past years, Mor-Gran-Sou will offer four scholarships. Two of the four are designated for qualified applicants who plan to attend a certified vocational or technical school. We ask that the applicant specify which scholarship award he or she is requesting.

Recipients will be chosen on a combination of SAT/ACT scores and overall grade point average; activities, achievements and honors; work experience; a personal statement of career goals; an essay question centered on local cooperatives and how they serve the area; and an appraisal from a high school or college counselor or advisor, instructor or a work supervisor who knows the student well.

The scholarship will be awarded during the 2011-2012 school year. Applications are available at area schools, co-op headquarters in Flasher, or online.

Applications are due no later than 4:30 p.m. CT (3:30 p.m., MT) on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2012. Please deliver or mail all necessary information to Mor-Gran-Sou Electric Cooperative at P.O. Box 297, Flasher, ND 58535-0297.
If you have questions or would like further information, please call Jackie at (701) 597-3301 or (800) 750-8212.
