Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative now offers two scholarship programs, one for students attending Carteret Community College and Craven Community College and one for graduating high school seniors.  

 

CARTERET-CRAVEN ELECTRIC FOUNDATION

HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS

Five high school seniors, at least one each from East Carteret , West Carteret , Croatan and Havelock high schools, will be selected. Students who attend other schools, such as Jones Senior or Gramercy, are pooled with the remaining applicants for the fifth scholarship. The scholarships are for $1,000 annually and are renewable for a total of four years.

The selection criteria includes 50 percent need; 25 percent academic achievement, based on transcripts, SAT score, and grade-point average; and 25 percent extracurricular activities, such as clubs, sports, special projects, community and church involvement. Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative will rule on the eligibility of each applicant. To renew, the student must maintain a 2.5 grade-point average. The scholarship expires after five years from the award date.

 

COMMUNITY COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

Four (4) scholarships are available – two at each college – at $250 per student each semester. The scholarships are renewable for three additional semesters, for a total of $1,000 per student for two years of school. The scholarships are not transferable to any other educational institution.

Scholarships will be awarded according to need (75 percent) and merit (25 percent), which will be based on a letter from the student describing his or her educational goals and plans for the future, as well as any special needs or circumstances the student may have. To renew, the student must maintain a 2.5 grade-point average. The scholarship expires after five semesters from award date.
