Nineteen area high school students and five Inver Hills Community College students received scholarships this spring for their continuing education from Dakota Electric Association. The donation to local students totaled $24,600 and includes money for approximately 12 Dakota County Technical College students and about six Inver Hills Community College students who will be named in the fall.
Dakota Electric has donated $488,495 since 1990 to help students reach their goals through post-secondary education.
“This scholarship money comes from unclaimed capital credits, and we are happy to invest in the future through local youth,” Dakota Electric’s President and CEO Greg Miller said.
