2023 scholarship recipients announced

The Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives (IEC) Memorial Scholarship Fund announced recipients for 2023. The fund has grown from initially awarding two $1,000 scholarships in 1996 to now offering 15 $2,000 scholarships.

The Illinois Community College System Foundation (ICCSF) administers the IEC Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Of the 15 annual awards, 14 are specific for high school seniors who plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational/technical school.

Of those 14 scholarships, nine are awarded to students who are the sons or daughters of an Illinois electric cooperative consumer-member. Four are reserved for students enrolling full-time at a two-year Illinois community college who are sons or daughters of an Illinois electric co-op consumer-member or employee.

The Earl W. Struck Memorial Scholarship is awarded to one student who is the son or daughter of an Illinois electric co-op employee or director.

One scholarship, the LaVern and Nola McEntire Memorial Lineworker’s Scholarship, is awarded to an individual to attend lineworker’s school conducted by the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives in conjunction with Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC), Springfield.

Congratulations to the 2023 Thomas H. Moore IEC Memorial Scholarship recipients.
