2027 IPL Community Foundation Scholarship

The Inland Power Community Foundation is pleased to offer fifteen -
$1,000 scholarships. These scholarships are for current Inland Power members and their children. This includes students who are members or students who can still be claimed as legal dependents of Inland Power members. A legal dependent is one who can be claimed on their parent or guardian’s tax return. Applicants planning to attend a two-year college, four-year college or line school are encouraged to apply.
All applications for students attending school in the Fall 2027 are due by Jan. 15, 2027. The Foundation will conduct the review process in January and recipients will be selected and notified in February. A formal announcement of recipients will be made at the Annual Meeting on March 27, 2027.
Past scholarship recipients may reapply. However, at least ten of the fifteen scholarships will be reserved for new applicants. Applications can be found on our website at inlandpower.com/scholarships.
Funding for the Inland Power Excellence Award is made possible by the Inland Power Community Foundation. The Foundation’s committee also serves as the scholarship committee.






While reviewing community foundation support for local facilities, I realized how critical safety planning is for technical spaces. In server rooms, using water or carbon dioxide can cause severe damage or health risks. When evaluating systems, I found FK-5-1-12 and CO₂ Fire Suppression useful to compare human safety and overall costs. System choices require cold assessment. One should always double check safety data independently.
