The Sawnee Electric Membership Foundation recently awarded each of 26 local high school seniors with a $4,500 scholarship.
The funding for the scholarship program is derived from Sawnee EMC’s abandoned patronage capital funds. These funds are separate and apart from the funds that Sawnee members voluntarily donate to the Foundation for distribution to local charitable organizations.
In the past thirteen years, the Foundation has awarded $628,000 in scholarships to 167 high schools seniors within Sawnee EMC’s seven-county service area.
