2026 SLVREC scholarship application is now available!

San Luis Valley REC makes secondary education a priority when giving back to the Valley. With over $200,000 given in the past five years, REC annually awards up to eight (nine in 2026) scholarships to local students, including one four-year scholarship to Adams State University.

The awards are primarily reserved for REC members, although a few of the scholarships are available to other Valley students as well. Complete information about all the scholarships, including eligibility requirements, can be found on the scholarship application.

If you are interested in applying for a lineworker scholarship at Trinidad State Junior College or Colorado Mesa University Tech, you must be accepted into the college program to receive a scholarship. Prospective applicants are encouraged to complete the application for the college of their choice as soon as possible because spaces in these competitive programs fill up quickly.

The deadline to apply is Feb. 2, 2026. For more information on the scholarship program, please contact Marketing and Communications Manager Jennifer Alonzo.
