SECO Announces $2,500 Scholarship Winners
Sumterville, FL – Jim Duncan, CEO of Sumter Electric Cooperative, today announced that 12 graduating seniors from SECO’s service territory have each won $2,500 scholarships from the Cooperative. According to Duncan, SECO’s scholarship program began in 1996 when the SECO Board of Trustees first approved it. Since then, including this year’s winners, SECO has awarded 160 scholarships to deserving high school seniors.

Duncan said, “With today’s high cost of a college education every dollar that can be dedicated to the pursuit of higher education is important. At SECO we’re very proud of the young people in our service territory and we hope that, following college, some of them will bring their new found skills and knowledge back to our area. We wish our scholars well as they pursue their academic endeavors.” This year 139 qualified applicants were evaluated based on their scholastic record, school and community service activities, and financial need.
