Cooperative Calendar of Student Art Contest

Public, private or home-schooled students in kindergarten through 12th grade during the 2020-21 school year are encouraged to enter their best artwork for this contest, which will showcase the best submissions from each grade level in the 2022 Cooperative Calendar of Student Art. 

A first-place artist will be selected for each grade and will receive a $200 prize. The artwork of each grade level winner will also illustrate either the cover or a month of the calendar. Other prizes are available for honorable mention and artist of the year awards. 

A complete set of rules is available at indianaconnection.org/for-youth/art-contest. Artwork must be received by March 19 at Indiana Connection’s Indianapolis office.

Scholarships for high school seniors

Each year, LaGrange County REMC awards three $1,000 scholarships to help area students further their education at an accredited college or trade school of their choice.

The only requirements for applying are that the student must be an actively enrolled senior, their parents’ or legal guardians’ primary residence must be within LaGrange County REMC’s territory and they must be members in good standing with the co-op.

To apply, seniors can download an application at lagrangeremc.com/scholarships and return it to the cooperative by March 26.
