YOUTH TOUR
Youth Tour replaced with Scholarship Contest
Montana’s electric cooperatives have elected not to participate in The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) 2021 Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic.
However, the Youth Tour essay contest for 2021 will still go on, with the statewide winner receiving a $2,500 scholarship to a college or trade school. In addition Southeast Electric Cooperative will also offer a $1500.00 scholarship to its winner.
The topic for this year’s essay is: How has reliable electricity benefitted you and your community through the COVID-19 pandemic?
The criteria to be eligible for the Youth Tour Essay Scholarship is:
• The student must be a junior or senior in high school in the fall of 2021 (currently a sophomore or junior).
• The student and/or parent or guardian must be served by an electric cooperative,
• The essay must include the application and a cover page with the student’s name, address and telephone number.
• Submit the essay to SOUTHEAST ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE no later than Dec. 18, 2020
