This is our third-year awarding scholarships to area high school students and each year we have had an overwhelming number of students apply. The response has been so high the Board of Directors doubled the number of scholarships to be awarded in 2020. This year we awarded eight scholarships, in the amount of $1000 each, to local students pursuing higher education.
We congratulate the accomplished students who were awarded a DS&O Electric Scholarship. Each winner demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and community service.
Our 2020 recipients are:
