At Roanoke Cooperative, we believe electricity does more than power homes — it powers futures.
As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, we are owned by the very people we serve. That means every decision we make is guided by one purpose: strengthening our community. One of the most meaningful ways we do that is by investing in our young people.
Each year, Roanoke Cooperative awards college scholarships to graduating high school seniors within our service area. These scholarships are more than financial assistance — they are a reflection of our commitment to the cooperative principle of Concern for Community.
When you apply for a Roanoke Cooperative scholarship, you’re not just filling out an application. You’re becoming part of a tradition rooted in:
- Local support
- Local investment
- Local pride
Unlike investor-owned utilities, cooperatives return value directly to the communities they serve. That means when our member-owners support their cooperative, that support comes back in meaningful ways — including scholarship opportunities for the next generation.
To the high school seniors preparing for graduation:
✔You have worked hard.
✔You have goals.
✔You have potential.
Let your community stand behind you as you take your next step.
If you are planning to attend college, we encourage you to apply for a Roanoke Cooperative scholarship today.
