College Scholarships

The Moorhead Public Service Commission (Commission) is proud to announce the allocation of $3,000 to be awarded to four Moorhead high school seniors in the form of scholarships to an accredited, post-secondary education institution. These scholarships will be awarded through two contests-the Moorhead Public Service Video Scholarship Contest and the Moorhead Public Service Public Power Essay Scholarship Contest.

Moorhead Public Service Public Power Essay Scholarship - Deadline: March 31, 2011 at 4:30 p.m.

As a community-owned utility, Moorhead Public Service is proud of what we do for our community and want students to realize the value that a municipal utility brings to a community. Because of that desire, the Moorhead Public Service Commission is, again, offering the Public Power Essay Scholarship Contest. Students are encouraged to submit an original 500- to 1,000-word essay with the topic "Municipal Utilities: Good for All of Us."

Moorhead Public Service Video Scholarship Contest - Deadline: April 29, 2011 at 4:30 p.m.

The Moorhead Public Service Commission is asking students to create a five- to seven-minute video presentation with the theme "Conserving Electricity is Easier Than You Think." Students are encouraged to tap into their creativity to show the residents of Moorhead how they can save money on their electric bill and help preserve our environment through the simple act of conservation.
