The deadline to apply is May 1. You can apply online here. Preference is given to students pursuing degrees that benefit the electrical industry. The award amount is $1,000.
The Mahoning Valley LMCC Scholarship goes to a YSU student pursuing a career that benefits the electrical industry. It’s the local union electricians’ and signatory electrical contractors’ way of giving back and promoting education.
“The scholarship is our way of promoting the value of education and supporting the local electrical industry,” said Scott Satterlee, business manager, IBEW Local 64 in Youngstown.
Last Year’s Winner
Past winners have ranged from children of union electricians and employees at signatory contractors, to active employees and interns.
Last year, Alex Birtalan, a junior estimator at “Joe” Dickey Electric and third-year electrical engineering technology student at YSU, earned the scholarship.
