2026 IMUA SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCED
Attention High School Seniors
The City of Red Bud and the Illinois Municipal Utilities Association (IMUA) are excited to announce the 2026 IMUA Scholarship for local high school seniors.
What's Available?
• Four scholarships worth $1,000 each
• Eligibility: High school seniors in communities served by IMUA member utilities
• Deadline: Friday, March 13, 2026
• How to Apply: Submit an application and a short essay (500 words or less) on one of four utility-related topics.
Organized in 1948, IMUA represents this community as well as nearly 50 municipalities operating their own electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, and wastewater systems.
“Public power communities offer their customers a number of cost, efficiency, and service advantages compared to those served by other energy providers,” said Kevin M. Gaden, President & CEO of IMUA. “IMUA’s scholarship program is another example of how municipally owned and operated utility systems return value to their communities while supporting students pursuing college or trade education.”
For details and essay questions, visit https://www.imea.org/IMUA%20Scholarship%20Program.asp
Questions? Contact IMUA’s DeeDee Bunch at (217) 789-4632 or [email protected].
