Community Foundation Scholarship Program

PRESS RELEASE
INLAND POWER COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION

Our Inland Power Community Foundation has some exciting opportunities for high school juniors and seniors. This fall we have opened applications for two of our programs — the 2026 Youth Tour program and Inland Power Community Foundation Scholarship Program.

The Inland Youth Tour program is open to current high school juniors.

Students can earn a FREE week-long trip to Washington D.C. to learn about leadership, team building and visit historic monuments and museums. To be eligible, applicants’ parent or legal guardian must be an Inland Power member and the student must send a signed verification by their school counselor of adequate grades with an application. The deadline for applications is Jan. 15, 2026. To learn more please visit inlandpower.com/youth-tour.

The Inland Power Community Foundation is also pleased to offer 15 $1,000 scholarships. These scholarships are for current Inland Power members and their children. This includes students who are members or students who can still be claimed as legal dependents of Inland Power members. A legal dependent is one who can be claimed on their parent or guardian’s tax return. Applicants planning to attend a two-year college, four-year college or line school are encouraged to apply.

Our scholarship timeline process has changed this year. All applications for fall 2026 are due by Jan. 15, 2026. 

The Foundation will conduct the review process in January and recipients will be selected and notified in February. A formal announcement of recipients will be made at the March 28, 2026 Annual Meeting.

Past scholarship recipients may reapply. However, at least 10 of the 15 scholarships will be reserved for new applicants. 

Applications have been sent to high school counseling offices within the Inland Power service territory, or can be found on our website at inlandpower.com/scholarships. 

Funding for the Inland Power Excellence Award is made possible by the Inland Power Community Foundation. The Foundation’s committee also serves as the scholarship committee. The Inland Power Community Foundation was developed to generate and collect charitable donations to improve the quality of life for the communities we serve through individual, family and nonprofit organization donations.
