Baldwin EMC's Operation Round Up Foundation recently honored the program's scholarship recipients for the 2010 – 2011 school year. Foundation board members held a luncheon at the co-op's training center in Summerdale to recognize all of the students, both first-time recipients and those whose scholarships were approved for renewal.
The grants were awarded using funds collected through Operation Round Up. It's a program in which participating Baldwin EMC members allow the co-op to round up their electric bills to the next highest dollar amount. The extra change is distributed for grants meeting the criteria of food, shelter, clothing, health, environment, and education.
