We received a nice thank you from the recipient of several years worth of Rio Grande Electric Cooperative (RGEC) scholarships. Abril Urias of Presidio was first awarded a scholarship as a graduating high school senior in 2020. She excelled in college and applied for subsequent Continuing Education Scholarships through her college career.
When she graduated, she graciously acknowledged the Co-op’s part in furthering her education, and helping her reach her goals. “I am grateful to have received so much support from the Rio Grande Electric Cooperative. I have received my Bachelor of Arts for Multidisciplinary EC-6 Studies from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. I graduated this past week on December 17, 2022, and prior to this date, I have been a (Continuing Education) scholarship recipient of the Rio Grande Elec. Coop for the past 2 years. The money I earned from the scholarships helped me get to where I am now. I graduated cum laude from my class, which is to graduate with honors. I am on the road to completing my Master’s degree in Literacy from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Thank you all so much and I am proud of the work that you have done for both my family and me! I have included a few attachments from the graduation ceremony. Respectfully, Abril Urias”
