North Arkansas Electric Cooperative (NAEC) is accepting applications for the Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., and its scholarship program. Both applications are available at naeci.com and through high school counselors.
High school juniors may apply for the Youth Tour. NAEC must receive completed applications by March 13. NAEC will send up to five teenagers on the all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., June 19-25. The trip will include tours of many major sites, including the U.S. Capitol, museums of the Smithsonian Institution and the Lincoln Memorial.
High school seniors may apply for the Operation Round Up Scholarship Program. It is funded by members who volunteer to have their electric bill “rounded up” each month. In 2019, 18 students were awarded $1,000 scholarships. Completed applications must be postmarked or submitted to NAEC by April 13.
For both programs, applicants’ parents or legal guardians must be NAEC members.
North Arkansas Electric Cooperative serves more than 36,700 active accounts throughout seven counties. The cooperative’s headquarters is located in Salem, and full-service offices are located in Ash Flat and Mountain Home. For more information, visit naeci.com or call 870-895-3221.
