Wake Electric awards U.S. savings bonds to area students

Wake Electric rewards academic achievement.

In January, Wake Electric awarded 40 U.S. Savings Bonds to area students who received at least one "A" (or its equivalent) on their report cards. The $50 savings bond awards are part of a drawing held three times a year. The next drawings will be held on July 20 and October 20. NOTE: Because each school district may have a different time for issuing report cards, if a student's entry misses one deadline, the entry will automatically be included in the next drawing.

To enter, students should include:
- A copy of the report card
- Include on the report card:
Parents' or guardians' names (if applicable)
Home address
Email address that is checked regularly
School attending
Telephone Number

Students in any grade in Durham, Franklin, Granville, Johnston, Nash, Vance and Wake counties may apply.

Funding for scholarships is made possible by Wake Electric member-consumer through the Operation Round-Up Program. Members who sign up for Operation RoundUp elect to have their monthly electric bill rounded up to the next whole dollar. These pennies add up to major dollars for community programs.
