80108 teens receive scholarship grants
Every year since 1988, CORE Electric Cooperative has selected 35 high school graduates (five teens from each of its seven districts) to each receive $2,000 for higher education. The 2023 grant recipients in 80108 are Channing Bower, Beckett Fleet, Kristen O’Leary and Morgan Shirer. CORE uses a lottery system to select the winners; there are no scholastic requirements.
“CORE’s board of directors is proud to carry on the tradition of supporting youth in our service territory,” stated Tim White, CORE’s board president.
