NOVEC accepting scholarship applications

Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative: “Each year, Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) awards up to 15 $1,500 college scholarships to area high school students.”

“Seniors who reside in one of the five counties where NOVEC provides electric service — Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Stafford, as well as in the City of Manassas Park – are eligible. Applications are welcome from students who attend public, private or home school.”

“One scholarship is specifically dedicated to a student who will be attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), and another is dedicated to a student who is planning to attend a vocational or trade school.  The most outstanding applicant will be selected to receive an additional honor, NOVEC’s $1,500 Manley Garber Scholarship (named for the late Co-op board chairman).”

“Students do not need to fill out a separate application for the Garber Scholarship. Applications for the NOVEC scholarships are available at College Scholarships. The application deadline is March 1, 2024.”

“VMDAEC Scholarships: The Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives Scholarship Foundation will award $1,000 scholarships to seniors whose parents or guardians are members of NOVEC or one of 14 other electric cooperatives in Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland.”
