WiNUP scholarship funds are available

WiNUP offers scholarship opportunities to persons pursuing education that will lead to careers in the utility industry or allied fields. What is unfortunate is that we don’t always reach qualified candidates with this news and at times the money goes unawarded.

But you can help. If you are in school—apply for the award. Or, if you know of someone who is in school, spread the word and encourage them to apply.

WiNUP offers two grants: the Julia Kiene Fellowship Award of $2,000 and the Lyle Mamer Fellowship Award of $1,000. Both are for individuals pursuing graduate degrees. Relevant fields must relate to a career in a utility related field such as engineering, business administration, accounting, environmental sciences, communications, information technologies, and so on.

A third award of $500 is available only to WiNUP members and does not require graduate level study.

More information about each scholarship is available through this link: Scholarships and to apply for a scholarship complete this Application.

Awards will be announced following the June Board meeting.

Students not currently taking classes are asked to include proof of registration with their scholarship application.

Apply for the WiNUP scholarship by March 31.
