Sixteen 2025 graduates receive scholarships
North Arkansas Electric Cooperative’s Operation Round Up® program awarded scholarships to 16 recent high school graduates in June.
Three students — Hannah Baker of Mountain Home High School, Haydyn Friend of Salem High School and Taci Humphries of Highland High School — each will receive $1,000 toward their college education annually for up to four years.
Thirteen students will receive one-time scholarships of $1,000. They include: Cash Arnhart, Izard County Consolidated; Hannah DeAtley, Cotter; Kira Duncan, Viola; Jordan Ellison, Mountain Home; Addison Farris, Mountain Home; Callie Hall, Salem; Alia Kearbey, Calico Rock; Charlotte Moore, Norfork; Christopher Pagan, Hillcrest; Devyn Prins, Mountain Home; Aidan Shrable, Mountain Home; Stratton Smith, Mountain Home; and Dacey Stevens, Highland.
High school seniors may apply for the next round of scholarships beginning Feb. 1. The application will be posted at naeci.com and available through high school counselors.
Members can help fund future scholarships by enrolling their electric accounts in Operation Round Up. Participants agree to have their monthly electric bills “rounded up” to the nearest dollar. For example, a bill amount of $125.60 would become $126.
To enroll your account(s), please fill out the form on the Operation Round Up webpage. You also may call (870) 895-3221, email info@naeci.com or visit an NAEC office.
Donations are placed in a trust and administered by a five-member volunteer board of community leaders.
