Scholarships

Burke-Divide Electric Memorial Scholarship
Founded in 1964 as a memorial to Henry T. Swenson, the Burke-Divide Electric Memorial Scholarship has become a memorial to other friends of the cooperative as well. All memorial funds are invested and each year the interest earned is used for a $500 scholarship. Because the memorials are never spent, they remain perpetual, working to benefit students.

All U.S. high school seniors and college students, whose parents are members of Burke-Divide Electric Cooperative, are eligible to apply.

Basin Electric Power Cooperative Scholarship
Burke-Divide Electric Cooperative and Basin Electric Power Cooperative team up to provide two (2) $500 scholarships to an area students.

Applicants must be enrolled or planning to enroll in a full-time graduate or undergraduate course of study at an accredited, two year or four year college, university, or vocational/technical school.

Applications are due in February.  Scholarships are distributed the Spring semester of the following academic year.
