Guidelines & Priorities

Applicants must be graduates of schools in Carroll, Sac, Woodbury, or Greene county with first preference to Carroll High School graduates. Student must be accepted into the Powerline Technology Program at a college in the state of Iowa. If no applicants are received for Powerline Technology we will accept applications for an electrical course of study at any Community College in Iowa. Scholarship funds of $500 each semester, totaling $2,500, will be paid directly to the student awarded at the beginning of each semester for 5 (five) semesters (fall x 2, spring x 2, and summer x 1). If time to graduate is less than 5 semesters the final balance will be paid out to student at time of graduation from program. Student must maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher throughout college and submit end of semester grades before receiving new semester payment.
