The Operation Round Up Scholarship was established to provide financial assistance for qualified individuals who seek a college, university, or technical school education.
Operation Round Up is an innovating program providing financial assistance to worthwhile projects in East
Central Electric’s service area. The organization is funded by participating members of East Central Electric
Cooperative who volunteers to have their monthly electric bill rounded up to the nearest dollar.
Each participant contributes about $0.50 per month into the Operation Round Up fund. With the help
of our participants, Operation Round Up disperses funds for community projects, health care, educational scholarships
and other worthwhile projects.
Purpose

technical school education.
