Scholarships are available for persons enrolling in a power line worker program at a Minnesota vocational college. Three $500 scholarships are available through the Cooperative.
Application forms are available by calling 1-800-494-6272. High school seniors looking for a career choice may want to study the Power Line Worker career brochure. They are available from McLeod Cooperative Power explaining the educational requirements, on-the-job training, daily work duties and salary range.
McLeod Cooperative Power donates scholarship dollars annually to the Ridgewater College Foundation in Hutchinson and Willmar. Students of Ridgewater who graduated from a high school in McLeod, Renville, Sibley, or Carver County may apply via the Ridgewater Foundation.
