NHEC Foundation awards scholarships to 6 Granite State students

PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative recently awarded six scholarships to Granite State students pursuing higher-education programs, two of them in the Lakes Region. 

The annual scholarships of $1,500 are awarded to Co-op members or their children pursuing any accredited undergraduate program. One scholarship is specifically reserved for students entering a vocational or technical institution. The scholarships were presented during the Co-op’s Annual Meeting at the Owl’s Nest Resort in Thornton on June 16. This year’s Lakes Region recipients are:

• Caroline Goren, of Center Harbor. A Moultonborough Academy graduate, Goren will enter her third year in the nursing program at Plymouth State University this fall
• Lukas Mondor, of Northfield, a Winnisquam Regional High School graduate, will enter his third year this fall at the University of Mass Lowell, where he is studying applied biomedical science ― medical laboratory science

Scholarships are awarded by the NHEC Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established by the Co-op that provides scholarships and grants to local charities and communities in its service territory. It focuses on health, education, hunger relief, the arts, and community well-being. The NHEC Foundation is supported entirely by voluntary donations from Co-op members and has awarded nearly $6 million to date.
