Powering the Future: Scholarships for Local Seniors

As we prepare to welcome a new year, Lyon-Lincoln Electric Cooperative and our generation and transmission partner, Basin Electric, are once again proud to invest in the future of our communities by supporting area students.

Applications are now being accepted for the Basin Electric and Lyon-Lincoln Electric Scholarship Programs! 

Basin Electric Scholarship

Basin Electric, headquartered in Bismarck, North Dakota, generates the electricity that powers more than 140 member cooperatives across nine states, including Lyon-Lincoln Electric. Each year, Basin Electric awards a $1,000 scholarship to one student from every member cooperative.

For 32 years, Lyon-Lincoln Electric has proudly participated in this program, helping local students reach their education goals.

Lyon-Lincoln Electric Scholarship

In addition to the Basin Electric award, Lyon-Lincoln Electric offers a $500 scholarship to graduating seniors at high schools in our service area through the Operation RoundUp program.

Together, these scholarships have supported more than 5,000 students with over $5 million awarded since the program began.

Why Co-ops Care

Locally owned and operated, electric cooperatives were built by members of our communities — for our communities. Supporting local students is one of the many ways we give back and help empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and community builders.
