Scholarships

The scholarship program is a way for our locally owned, not-for-profit utility to invest back into the community. We offer scholarship opportunities to high school seniors, future linemen and even teachers. We are pleased to be able to support local students and teachers as they pursue educational opportunities.

Cedarburg High School Scholarship

Each year, Cedarburg Light & Water along with our power supplier WPPI Energy, offers a $1,000 college scholarship to a graduate of Cedarburg High School.

The scholarships are administered by the Cedarburg Community Scholarship Fund and the Cedarburg High School Scholarship Program.

The Public Power scholarship is presented to a high school senior who plans to attend a two-year technical college or a four-year university program. To be eligible, students or their parents or guardians must be Cedarburg Light & Water customers.

KEEP – Teacher Scholarships

K-12 Energy Education Program for teachers (KEEP)

KEEP is a 16-hour in-service that helps teachers integrate hands-on energy education activities into their classrooms. The program also demonstrates how teachers can use energy education to ensure that their students meet Wisconsin academic standards.

KEEP makes the sometimes-intimidating topic of energy understandable to students of all ages. Second graders can learn about the coal mining process as they “find resources” in chocolate chip cookies. Middle school students can experiment with properties of motors by modeling an electric motor. High school students can discuss “energy futures” by studying energy trends and new technologies. Visit KEEP for more information.

This program is offered to teachers at all grade levels. We offer a limited number of scholarships to teachers from the Cedarburg schools each year. Contact us at 262-375-7650 for more information

Lineman Scholarship

This scholarship is intended to support local youth who are interested in pursuing a career as an electric lineworker. As some of our most experienced lineworkers near retirement, there is a growing need for lineworkers across the country and even right here in Cedarburg.

Electric line workers are skilled workers who construct, operate and maintain the electric grid that transports electricity from generation plants through transmission lines and onto distribution systems that serve our customers.
