Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) has awarded $100,000 in scholarships to 25 graduating high school students across its service area. Recipients can use their scholarship for tuition at the college, university, technical or trade school of their choice. Students were selected from more than 460 applicants with scholarship awards ranging from $2,000 to $7,500.
“We are committed to providing opportunities and education that help our communities thrive,” said Community Outreach Specialist Mikayla Herron. “PEC is proud to award these scholarships and play a role in shaping these students’ futures to help them reach their goals and dreams.”
This year, scholarship recipients and their families were honored at a reception, April 20, at EVO Entertainment Belterra in Austin.
