Scholarship Funding

Funds for Barron Electric's Scholarships and donations are derived from the Federated Youth Foundation, an administrative trust overseeing unclaimed cashback credits of former members. The Federated Youth Foundation has specific requirements for which the funds can be used. Legally, Barron Electric cannot use funds from cashback credits to reduce rates. 

Charles Van Sickle Scholarship

Annually, the Federated Youth Foundation accepts applications for the Charles Van Sickle Scholarship. $2,000 is awarded to a pre-law or law student residing in Wisconsin that plans to specialize in cooperative law. The 2024 deadline has been met, please check back.  

The Glenn English National Cooperative Leadership Foundation Scholarship (The "Youth Tour Alumni Scholarship") encourages educational advancement by awarding high education scholarships to eligible students. One $10,000 scholarship and four $1,000 scholarships are awarded annually.
