KEA offers scholarships for local students who are continuing their education at a college, trade school, or career/technical school. The applications open annually on January 15 with a deadline of March 15. Academic scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors. Vocational/Career and Technical Education scholarships are available to both graduating high school seniors and to those who have previously attended high school and are pursuing additional training. There are also Continuing Education scholarships for applicants who are already attending college. If you are interested, you can apply for a scholarship using the link below.

Operation Round Up^®

To support local students, we encourage members to round up the change on their electric bills. Each month, members who participate in Operation Round Up^® allow KEA to automatically round up their electric bills to the next highest dollar amount. For example, if your bill is $78.42, it would be rounded up to $79.00. The remaining 58 cents gets automatically donated to KEA's scholarship fund.

The maximum contribution is 99 cents per month for 12 months, or $11.88. It doesn't seem like much, but it adds up. If half of KEA's meters are included in the program, an estimated annual contribution through Operation Round Up^® would be $18,000.

You can also donate your Capital Credit Retirements to the scholarship fund. If you are interested in participating, contact KEA Member Services at (907)486-7700, Option 3.
