Co-op offering

scholarship award

The Tanner Electric Cooperative, which provides power to several Snoqualmie Valley communities, just announced a $500 college scholarship for a Valley graduate.

Scholarships are available to graduating seniors who are children of Tanner Electric Cooperative members.

Three students will be selected, one each from the North Bend, Ames Lake, and Anderson Island service areas.

The cooperative sees part of its role as supporting Valley organizations and providing learning opportunities for young people.

A scholarship committee will review the applications and select one recipient for each service area. Winners will be announced at the annual meetings in May. Applications should be completed and turned in to school counselors or the Tanner office by March 27.

To apply, students should visit the Tanner Electric Web site, www.tannerelectric.coop, or contact their school counseling office.
