UWIG Meeting Scholarship Program for Co-ops, Public Power Utilities Extended

In 2010, the Public Renewables Partnership effort led by Western Area Power Administration (Western) and funded through the U.S. DOE Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program will offer thirty $500 scholarships to employees of electric cooperatives and public power utilities to attend UWIG meetings. The scholarships can be applied to any UWIG workshop or user group meeting and can be used to help defray travel expenses or registration fees. The applicant’s employer must be a member of NRECA or APPA and there is no limit on the number of scholarships per utility. To apply for the scholarship, please contact Randy Manion at 720-962-7423 or manion@wapa.gov.
