Customer Newsletter, March 2010
Scholarship Applications Available
If you know a recent high school graduate,
or a student who will graduate from high school
in 2010, encourage that individual to apply for
Southern Power District’s Utility Line Scholarship
Program. The deadline is fast approaching:
April 1, 2010. Applications are available on
Southern’s website at www.southernpd.com, at
our main office in Grand Island, or at any of
Southern’s Service Centers. Current high
school students or recent graduates who
reside in Adams, Franklin, Hall,
Hamilton, Kearney, Merrick or Phelps
Counties are eligible to apply.
The scholarship is valued at
$1,000, and is awarded on an annual basis to an individual who
plans to attend an accredited school to begin a two-year utility line
program. Half of the scholarship will be paid directly to the recipient
following the successful completion of the first year of the utility
line study program, and the second half will be awarded following
graduation. Applicants must also serve a 12-week summer
internship with Southern in cooperation with the school attended.
Southern also invites students to “shadow” one of our linemen
for a day to find out firsthand what this career entails.
For more information about this program please call Darrell
Peters today at 308-384-2350 or 1-800-652-2013.
