If you're a high school senior and a member of Crow Wing Power, we offer several ways to apply for a college scholarship. Check with your high school counselor regarding the criteria.
Become A Lineworker
If you enjoy working outdoors and problem solving with both your head and your hands, this may be the career for you. An electrical line worker performs many different tasks, including climbing poles or operating aerial lift devices to work on overhead lines 25 to 200 feet above the ground, erecting substations, or digging trenches to string underground electric cable.
We offer lineworker scholarships at area lineworker technical colleges. Inquire at the school you are interested in.
