Regular readers of our Member Newsletter and enchantment magazine may have noticed a lull in our community events reporting due to the COVID-19 situation, which has put a bit of a hold on many of our community programs and events. Fortunately, we were able to award scholarships to eligible high school seniors and college students. Here is a list of the 2020-2021 recipients of scholarship awards totaling $34,000 from Sierra Electric Cooperative Education Foundation and our partners at Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association and Basin Electric Power Cooperative.
