Current Light Flashes

West Florida Electric Cooperative (WFEC) is excited to share our 2025 scholarship recipients. Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 are being awarded to 14 local students through our annual scholarship essay competition.

These students were chosen for their thoughtful essays about what makes cooperatives unique compared to other utilities, their academic achievements, and their service to their communities.

The scholarships are part of the cooperative's ongoing commitment to supporting and empowering local students as they pursue higher education, trades or skills, and work toward building successful futures.

The 2025 scholarship recipients to the college, technical school or university of their choice are:

• Reagan Roberts, Altha School
• Morgan Faircloth, Bethlehem School
• Ansley Hires, Blountstown High School
• Cooper Bloechl, Chipley High School
• Wyatt Speers, Cottondale High School
• Blessen Council, Graceville School
• Savannah Goodman, Holmes County High School
• LaRae Baxter, Malone School
• Ruben Mayes, Jr., Marianna High School
• Dwayne Schley, Ponce De Leon High School
• Kylie Holton, Poplar Springs School
• Joseph Smith IV, Sneads High School
• Ashley Burke, Vernon High School
• Annabeth Bontrager, Home School

Thank you to our cooperative members and the Board of Trustees whose support makes programs like this possible. We are excited about our scholarship program and look forward to continuing to expand our support to local students in the years to come.
