 The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities, through its Education and Research Fund, is pleased to announce the creation of a scholarship program for graduating Iowa high school seniors and recent graduates.

Each $1,000 scholarship will be distributed to the student. To apply, candidates must fill out and submit the scholarship application. Applications are due February 15, 2021 to scholarship@iamu.org. A minimum of four scholarships will be awarded. IAMU will announce the award recipients by May 1, 2021.

To be eligible for consideration, candidates must:

Live in a residence that is a verified customer of an IAMU member or attend a high school that is a verified customer of an IAM member. If you are unsure whether your local area is an IAMU member, contact your city hall.

Be a 2021 graduating high school senior or have previously graduated from high school.

Be attending a post high school education program located in Iowa in the fall of 2021.

Preference will be given to applicants entering a utility-related career with a special preference to applicants entering utility-related trades programs leading to careers in difficult to fill utility careers such as, as an example only, electric line worker, water treatment or distribution operator, or operator qualified natural gas positions.

If you have any questions about the scholarship program, please feel free to contact IAMU at scholarship@iamu.org.

Organized in 1947, IAMU represents 754 municipally owned broadband, electric, gas, and water utilities statewide. Through this scholarship program, IAMU continues its mission to support and strengthen Iowa's municipal utilities.

Students wishing to apply for the 2021 Victor T. Wilson M.D., Warren H. Bower M.D. and Surgical Associates Memorial Scholarship will do so using the new system and the link below that says "LIVE – SLM". Please share that link with your high school seniors on or after December 1, 2020 (site becomes live that day). The deadline to submit applications is 3/22/21.

There is also a link below a training video on the account registration page. If students are struggling with the new system they can get an overview of how to apply by watching this video. This is a "canned" video and not specific to GPCF. I would also be happy to have a video session with any student who is having trouble navigating the system.

The scholarship application requires students to upload a high school resume. If this is not something your students would have, I have included a web address to a site about creating a high school resume. Please let me know if I can help your students with this new application process. Thanks for all you do! Nicole
