Your electric cooperative awards scholarships to area high school seniors.The scholarships come from unclaimed capital credits given to the Operation Round Up program. Cooperative members that participate in Operation Round Up allow their electric bills to be rounded up to the nearest dollar. The extra cents are administered by an independent trust board that distributes funds for scholarships and other non-profit organizations. Scholarships are awarded for each of Nobles' seven districts and one at-large. The scholarship check is jointly issued to the student and school after successfully completing one semester or quarter of higher education. The next deadline is March 31, 2020.
