Scholarships

Crow Wing Power understands the importance of education. In today's economy, it is often difficult for students to afford to continue their education following high school. As part of our commitment to the communities we serve, we want to help make attending college a little more affordable for our students.

Crow Wing Power Scholarships

Power Scholarship

Scholarship funding is made available through unclaimed capital credits and the Crow Wing Power Community Trust through Operation Round-up and is given to area educational facilities as the fund allows. 

In 2022, $85,000 in scholarships were awarded as follows:

  • 52 seniors from 11 area high schools received $1,500 each;
  • 3 seniors from area high schools received $1,000 each (on-line drawing);
  • 2 Non-Traditional students received $1,000 and
  • 2 students attending lineworker school received $1,000 each.

If you're a high school senior and a member of Crow Wing Power, we offer several ways to apply for a college scholarship.  Check with your high school counselor regarding the criteria.

Join the Industry, Become a Lineworker

If you enjoy working outdoors and problem-solving with both your head and your hands, this may be the career for you. An electrical line worker performs many different tasks, including climbing poles or operating aerial lift devices to work on overhead lines 25 to 200 feet above the ground, erecting substations, or digging trenches to string underground electric cable.

We offer lineworker scholarships at area lineworker technical colleges. Inquire at the school you are interested in.

Basin Electric Power Cooperative Scholarship Program

Basin Electric is proud to announce the 2023 Scholarship Program. This program is designed to encourage and recognize the achievements of dependent children of Basin Electric employees, subsidiary employees, member cooperative employees, and member cooperative consumers.

About 136 scholarships to children of member cooperative consumers.

There is one $1,000 scholarship available for each member cooperative to award to a dependent of a consumer member.

Please fill out the application form below and return to mudford@cwpower.com no later than February 15, 2023 at 4:30 pm.
