2020 Roughrider Electric Cooperative Scholarships
Cooperative Scholarship Winners Announced
As part of our commitment to community and area youth, Roughrider Electric Cooperative is pleased to award several scholarships for the 2019-20 school year.
Roughrider assists in developing leadership in our service area by helping worthy recipients obtain a higher education with assistance from a scholarship. This scholarship program is designed to recognize and encourage the achievements of our members and their dependent children.
Roughrider Electric awarded eight $500 scholarships this year. One graduating senior from each of the high schools within our service area is chosen by his or her school to receive these funds. These schools include: Belfield, Beulah, Center-Stanton, Dickinson High, Dickinson Trinity, Hazen, Richardton-Taylor, South Heart and Hope Christian Academy. Hope Christian did not have any senior students this year, so that scholarship was held.
Roughrider also awarded one $500 scholarship to a graduating senior from a high school outside of our service area, whose parents are members of our cooperative.

2020 Luck of the Draw Scholarship Winners
For the past several years, Roughrider has also awarded three $500 “Luck of the Draw” scholarships to students who registered for the meeting and attended with a parent. The goal of these scholarships is to encourage the younger generation to attend, learn about the cooperative business model of one member, one vote — and see how members’ voices and votes count. Because this year’s meeting is a business-only event,the drawing was waived due to COVID-19 restrictions. Instead, Roughrider’s board of directors held a random drawing at the June board meeting to determine the winners. Out of the seven students who registered to attend the meeting, these three were drawn as Luck of the Draw scholarship recipients:
Kora Biffert, daughter of Doug and Kim, Hazen
Kathryn Brevik, daughter of Eric and Corinne, Belfield
Blake Harm, son of Craig and Michelle, Hazen
Congratulations! Our membership looks forward to
learning your career plans and seeing you excel.
