Inland Power Scholarships Preparing for a bright future
A
s we begin the new year, it’s time to begin thinking about funding for college. Are you the parent of a high school senior or a college student? The Inland Power Excellence Award is available for students seeking higher education at a community college, university or trade school in any state. Each year, Inland Power offers 15 - $1,000 scholarships. The program is exclusively for active Inland Power members and their children. This includes college students who are members or students who can still be claimed as legal dependents of Inland Power members. A legal dependent is defined as one who is claimed on their parent or guardian’s tax return. Scholarship recipients may reapply the following year. However, at least ten of the
15 scholarships awarded will be reserved for new applicants. Applications have been sent to high school counseling offices in Inland’s service territory and can be found on our website at inlandpower.com. Applications are due Thursday, April 16, 2020. Once the closing date passes, the selection committee will meet in May and recipients will be chosen and notified in May or June. Funding for the Inland Power scholarship is made possible by the Inland Power Community Foundation. The foundation’s committee also serves as the scholarship committee. To make a donation to the foundation or for more information, please contact andyb@inlandpower.com.

O
utages are an unfortunate reality. From weather incidents, and cars hitting power poles to animal interference, there will be a power outage despite Inland Power’s best prevention efforts. When electricity does go out, most of us expect power to be restored within a few hours. But when a major storm causes widespread damage, longer outages may result. Inland line crews work long, hard hours to restore service safely to the greatest number of consumers in the shortest time possible.
When an outage occurs, line crews work to pinpoint problems.
When the lights go out, crews go through a specific process. The above graphic can help explain what crews are required go through to restore power. As always, to report an outage, call (877) 668-8243 or report an outage using your SmartHub app. Outage updates can be found at inlandpower.com.
