This fall, 17 students will head to college as 2026 recipients of Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives (IEC) Memorial Scholarships. The scholarship program has grown from initially awarding two $1,000 scholarships in 1996 to now offering 17 $3,000 scholarships.
The Illinois Community College System Foundation (ICCSF) administers the 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.
Ten scholarships are awarded to students who are children of an Illinois electric cooperative consumer-member. Five are reserved for students enrolling full-time at a 2-year Illinois community college who are children of an Illinois electric co-op member or employee.
The Earl W. Struck Memorial Scholarship is awarded to one student who is the child of an Illinois electric co-op employee or director, and the LaVern and Nola McEntire Memorial Lineworker’s Scholarship goes to a student attending lineworker school at Lincoln Land Community College.
Congratulations to the 2026 Thomas H. Moore IEC Memorial Scholarship recipients.
