Wheatland Electric Cooperative, Inc. (WEC) announced that Jillian Reimer, a senior at Great Bend High School, was awarded a $1,000 scholarship Wednesday, April 23, at WEC’s annual meeting in Scott City. Each year, WEC awards a $1,000 scholarship to one high school senior from each of the thirteen high schools in WEC’s service territory, as well as one at-large scholarship for a student who does not attend one of these schools but has a parent or guardian that is a WEC member.
A panel of the WEC Board of Trustees reviewed and selected all the scholarship recipients.
“Wheatland Electric is committed to the leaders of tomorrow and is proud to award these scholarships to assist students in obtaining their educational goals,” said CEO/General Manager Bruce W. Mueller.
