3C Construction and West Dakota Utility Services generously extended a $500 scholarship to each of its owners this year, including Slope Electric. The intention of the scholarship is to provide support to  students entering into a lineworker program or mechanic program at a certified vocational or technical school. We have incorporated this scholarship into our current scholarship program, which allows Slope to offer two more scholarship awards to our member-dependents. No qualifying applications were submitted.

Thank you to all the students who took the time to apply, and congratulations to this year’s winners! Slope Electric is proud to play a small role in supporting your educations and careers
