CoServ Scholarship
Offered by CoServ Electric
About This Scholarship
CoServ Electric is one of the largest electric cooperatives in the United States, serving the booming Denton and Collin County suburbs north of Dallas-Fort Worth. Each year the cooperative awards eight $5,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors from households with an active CoServ Electric account — one of the larger single awards offered by any co-op scholarship program.
One of the eight scholarships is reserved for a student pursuing vocational or trade school, so students headed to lineworker academies, HVAC programs, or other technical certificates compete in their own lane rather than against university-bound applicants. Awards support study at institutions of higher learning or trade schools in Texas.
The application calendar runs earlier than most: the window opens in mid-August and closes in mid-October of the student's senior year, months before typical spring scholarship season. Applications require completed references returned by the deadline, so applicants should line up recommenders as soon as the window opens.
