For over seven decades, CoServ Electric has taken an active role in the North Texas communities we serve. In particular, we support and encourage the academic and community endeavors of our local students.
The W. Tip Hall, Jr. Scholarship is one way we recognize these future leaders, and we encourage parents and senior high school students alike to spend some time together during the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks to research available funding for college tuition, fees, books, and housing. The scholarship is named after W. Tip Hall, Jr., a longtime educator, preacher and legislator who served on the CoServ Electric Board of Directors for ten years. Mr. Hall’s love and commitment to education, and his work in developing the scholarship program for CoServ Electric, is the reason the scholarship bears his name.
The purpose of this program is to encourage and support the academic endeavors of graduating high school seniors with an established connection to the electric cooperative, as they seek their education in an institute of higher learning in the state of Texas.
In 2010, CoServ Electric will provide five $2,500 scholarships. Please review the operating guidelines, the scholarship application and the application checklist. It is important to follow all instructions. Additionally, it is crucial to submit completed applications (which contain a video option) and all required reference materials mentioned in the checklist.
