Kentucky Coal Education Saving Plan Trust Information

History and Recipients |
 |
In 1997, the Kentucky Coal Council (now the Division of Fossil Fuels & Utility Services) approved the first of five $40,000 scholarship competition grants available to fourth- and fifth-grade students in Kentucky. Students competed in eight regions to win a $5,000 Savings Plan Trust Account to be awarded for approved post-secondary academic expenses. After five years, this program had awarded thirty-eight $5,000 interest-bearing accounts. During the presentation to each winner, the electric utility industry of Kentucky presented a new computer and printer to the school in honor of the recipient.
