Since 2001, Oneida-Madison Electric has facilitated the Legislation Rally/Youth Tour Scholarship where an 11th grader within our service area has been chosen to go to Washington, D.C. to accompany select OMEC staff and directors as they lobby our federally elected representatives for interests affecting the rural electrical cooperative world. In addition to getting to witness the legislation process firsthand, students also have the opportunity to sightsee throughout the nation's capital with other like-minded youths from our sister co-ops in NY. One of the NY student delegates is then chosen to go on the following year to the NRECA's National Annual Meeting, the Power Xchange, to be held in Nashville, TN, March 8-12, 2026! Further monetary scholarships are also available! Do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Apply today! Applications are due no later than February 3, 2025.
