At United Electric we truly care about the communities we serve. Our employees work together to make a difference in your community.
Scholarships
Two well established Cooperative principles include concern for communities, and education and training for our members. In keeping with these traditions, the Board of Directors of United Electric has decided to reinvest returned, unclaimed capital credits back to the community by providing educational scholarships to our members.
Several years ago, as a result of Pennsylvania’s lobbying efforts in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Electric Cooperatives are now able to use their escheated monies within their local communities. Escheat monies are capital credits from former members that have gone unclaimed because they have not been able to be located for 3 years. Legislators have agreed to allow the Cooperatives to use funds locally for specific community enrichment causes.
