Pioneer Awards Children of Members Scholarships

Fifteen area high school seniors have been selected to receive the Pioneer Electric Cooperative 2026 Children of Members Scholarship. The program recognizes outstanding students whose families are members of the cooperative and supports their pursuit of higher education.

Each selected student will receive a $500 scholarship to help offset the cost of continuing their education after high school. The scholarships are awarded annually as part of Pioneer Electric Cooperative’s ongoing commitment to supporting education and investing in the future of the communities it serves.

This year, Pioneer received 79 applications, representing 30 different schools. The strong response highlights the high achievement of young people throughout the cooperative’s service area. Applicants were selected by random chance based on an application process and academic achievement eligibility.
