Central Electric's Community College Scholarship Program
Another way Central Electric invests in our communities' futures is through our scholarship program. The program was established out of a desire to help students attend college who otherwise might not have the opportunity to continue their education. Each year scholarships are awarded to five students currently attending or planning to attend either Central Carolina Community College or Sandhills Community College. Scholarships are awarded based on scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, a written essay and financial need. Applicants must be Central Electric members or children of members. They must also be full-time students and have a grade point average of at least 2.5 or above.
Annual Meeting College Scholarship
As part of the Annual Meeting of the Members, Central Electric awards a $2,000 scholarship to a student who is attending a four-year college or university. The scholarship is awarded to a Central Electric member or a child of a member and the winner will be selected through a random drawing during the Annual Meeting. The application period opens on Jan. 1 and the deadline for entries is Sept. 15.
The application period for 2026 has closed.
