Illinois cooperatives offer college scholarships
I’m pleased to share that the Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives Memorial Scholarship is now open and accepting applications! We will continue to award 17 outstanding high school seniors. This year marks the scholarship’s 30th anniversary, and in honor of this milestone, the award amount has been increased from $2,500 to $3,000! We extend our gratitude to the THM IEC Memorial Scholarship Committee members for taking the time to carefully review the financials and make this decision possible. The application portal closes online on Dec. 31, 2025.
