Scholarship Program

In recognition of former CEO/General Manager Bob Alderson (CEO 1977-2000) the Boone Electric Community Trust awards 13-$2,000 scholarships in May of each year. Scholarships are awarded to one graduating student from each of the high schools in the Boone Electric Cooperative service area.
