East-Central Iowa REC is proud to announce that we have awarded $1,000 scholarships to 12 graduating seniors who plan to further their education in a diverse range of programs.
These students were chosen from a field of 30 accomplished scholars and represent 11 high schools. Eleven of the students will receive a general education scholarship, while one student—Brody Berninghaus—plans to enroll in the Powerline Technology program at Northwest Iowa Community College.
Congratulations to these deserving students!
