Dakota Electric has donated $1,819,495 since 1990 to help students reach their goals through post-secondary education. The cooperative’s employees made a video to congratulate all the graduates this year, which can be found on its YouTube page: https://youtu.be/fDD5_INYmEo.

“We are pleased to be able to help our local students this way,” Dakota Electric’s President and CEO Greg Miller said. “As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, Dakota Electric is proud to provide these scholarships from unclaimed capital credits as an investment in the future of our local youth.”
