The application window for the 2019 CoServ Scholarship program opens October 16. See you then!
For more than seven decades, CoServ 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 scholarship program is one way we recognize these future leaders.
In 2018, the program will award $35,000 in scholarships—$5,000 apiece for seven eligible students across North Texas.
The program's purpose is to encourage and support eligible graduating high school seniors with an established CoServ connection as they pursue their education at an institution of higher learning in the state of Texas.
W. "Tip" Hall, a longtime educator, preacher and legislator who served on the CoServ Electric Board of Directors for 10 years, was instrumental in developing the scholarship program.
