High school seniors may apply for the next round of scholarships beginning Feb. 1. The application will be posted at naeci.com and available through high school counselors. Members can help fund future scholarships by enrolling their electric accounts in Operation Round Up. Participants agree to have their monthly electric bills “rounded up” to the nearest dollar. For example, a bill amount of $125.60 would become $126. To enroll your account(s), please call (870) 895-3221, email info@naeci.com or visit an NAEC office. Donations are placed in a trust and administered by a five-member volunteer board of community leaders.
