COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS

2025 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Hendricks Power Cooperative has been committed to the communities we serve for over 85 years. This commitment inspired our scholarship program, which assists local students in fulfilling their dreams for higher education. This scholarship program was developed to encourage the sons and daughters of our members to further their education and become more aware of careers in the rural electric industry. Hendricks Power Cooperative is continuing its scholarship program in 2025. The co-op will award six scholarships, each worth $1,500, toward college tuition or a school of higher education for graduating seniors. Applications will be available in January 2025.

If you have questions, please contact Emily Thomas at ethomas@hendrickspower.com or at (317) 718-7606.
