Luck of the Draw Scholarships 2021
Roughrider Electric awards three $500 Luck of the Draw Scholarships that are drawn from registered students at our annual meeting. All high school seniors who have parents that are members of Roughrider Electric are eligible for this scholarship. Students are required to attend our annual meeting with at least one parent and RSVP for the meeting. Due to the COVID-19 Virus, we did not require any of the students to attend our annual meeting. At the June board meeting our board of directors drew three names from the pool of students that signed up to attend our annual meeting.
Congratulations to the 2021 Luck of the Draw Scholarship Winners.
