The Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives (IEC) Memorial Scholarship Fund announced recipients for 2024. The fund has grown from initially awarding two $1,000 scholarships in 1996 to now offering 16 $2,000 scholarships.
The Illinois Community College System Foundation (ICCSF) administers the IEC Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarships are available to high school seniors who plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited 2- or 4-year college, university or vocational/technical school.
Of the 16 scholarships, 10 are awarded to students who are the sons or daughters of an Illinois electric cooperative consumer-member. Five are reserved for students enrolling full-time at a 2-year Illinois community college who are sons or daughters of an Illinois electric co-op consumer-member or employee. The final scholarship, 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.
Congratulations to the 2024 Thomas H. Moore IEC Memorial Scholarship recipients.
