Each school year high school seniors, who live in a home served by SECO Energy, have the opportunity to win a $3,000 scholarship to further their education. Now is the time to apply for a scholarship.

Applications will be available at area high school guidance offices, at any of SECO’s customer service centers located in Marion, Lake, Citrus and Sumter counties, at the corporate offices in Sumterville and online after the first of the new calendar year.

Scholarship selections are based on past and present achievements in school, community service, financial need and scholastic records. An independent panel of educators from SECO's service territory evaluates all applicants and selects each year's winners.

If your high school senior can answer yes to ALL three questions below, they are eligible to apply:

• Do you live in a home served by SECO Energy?
• Are you currently a high school senior?
• Will you be enrolled in an accredited college, university, or vocational/technical school by the end of the calendar year following high school graduation?

All applications must be SIGNED and RECEIVED BY March 29, 2013. Applications can be dropped off at any SECO Customer Service Center office or mailed to;
