Beauregard Electric offers six scholarships to members

BECi is pleased to offer six one-year scholarships, valued at $1,500 each, to students who reside on BECi service lines. The winners are selected at the BECi Annual meeting to be held Saturday, March 22, 2008 by a random drawing. The student does not have to be present to win. Only one application per student will be accepted to enable each student to be equally eligible for the scholarship.

The BECi Scholarship Program begain in 1993. The scholarship funds are not taken from normal operating funds, but from two BECi programs:

• BECi SHARE PROGRAM

The Share Program allocates 50 percent to the area parish agencies to be used for energy assistance and 50 percent to the BECi Scholarship Fund.

• UNCLAIMED CHECKS

  Through legislative changes made in 1993, unclaimed checks were allowed to remain in the scholarship funds to assist students within BECi service area rather than forwarding the monies to the state’s general treasury fund.
