Darke REC Scholarship

Kate Schmitmeyer from Ansonia High School and Kyle Bueter from Mississinawa Valley High School are the 2010 recipients of Darke Rural Electric’s $1,000 first-place college scholarships. The two seniors will compete in the Ohio Rural Electric Cooperative Scholarship Contest.

They were selected by a panel of three judges in interviews that were held at the cooperative office on April 5. Students were judged on their academic performance, school and community activities, personal interview, as well as their cooperative knowledge.

Kate Schmitmeyer of Ansonia High School and Kyle Bueter of Mississinawa Valley High School each won first place in the 2010 Darke REC Scholarship contest in April.
