Anna Dietrich, of Liberty High School, is one of sixteen winners of this year’s Thomas H. Moore Illinois Electric Cooperatives (IEC) Memorial Scholarships. She is the daughter of Tim and Christina Dietrich.
Anna, a former Youth Tour winner (2024), competed for the scholarship with 268 other students from across the state. The $3,000 awards are given each year to sixteen children of electric co-op members, employees or directors. A seventeenth scholarship is reserved for a student interested in lineworker’s college and will be announced at a later date. Anna will be recognized during the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives’ annual meeting this summer.
Candidates were judged on grade-point average, college entrance exam scores, work and volunteer experience, school and civic activities, and a short essay demonstrating their knowledge of electric cooperatives.
This fall, Anna plans to attend Texas A&M, majoring in Computer Science through the Air Force ROTC, later serving as an officer in the United States Air Force. Adams Electric Cooperative is honored to have a scholarship recipient and wishes her success in her education and career goals.
