Valley Electric offer $500 high school scholarshipsPVT Unlike most scholarships, however, VEA winners are not chosen based directly on their grades or academic standing. VEA scholarship winners are chosen at random from among the names of all those who apply for the three scholarships. But grades do matter. All applicants must have applied, or been accepted, to a post high school educational institution - a technical school, college or university - at the time they submit their application. The one-page application forms are available from VEA, and from counselors at Beatty and Pahrump Valley high schools. In addition, each of the three winners must show proof that they successfully completed their first semester of post high school academic study carrying a full course load, and that they are signed up to take a full load of courses for their subsequent term, before VEA pays. This is the 11th year of the VEA High School Senior Scholarship Program, said Joe McCauley, VEA member services director. The names of the three winners will be drawn at the nonprofit cooperative's April 23 annual full membership meeting. The VEA service area extends from and includes, Sandy Valley in the south to Fish Lake Valley in the north, and also includes the communities of Pahrump, Mountain Springs Summit, Amargosa Valley, Lida, Sarcobatus Flats and Beatty. VEA High School Senior Scholarship application forms are available by calling the VEA main office in Pahrump at 727-5312 or toll free from inside Nevada at 1-800-742-3330. If you write for an application, please address your envelope to: VEA High School Senior Scholarship, c/o Valley Electric Association, P.O. Box 237, Pahrump, Nevada 89041. Fully completed applications must be received at VEA no later than 5 p.m. April 15. |
