Duke Energy Announces Academic Scholars for 2009
PR Newswire
Fifteen recipients will receive up to
$5,000 per year for up to four consecutive years of undergraduate study at an accredited college or university in
the United States or
Canada . Five students were named alternates and will receive a one-time
$1,000 scholarship.
Scholarship recipients must be graduating high school/secondary school seniors and are chosen annually by an independent committee of judges. The committee reviews and selects applicants based on their performance in academics, leadership, participation in school and community activities, honors and awards, work experience and financial need.
