Now Accepting CFU Scholarship Applications

CFU offers scholarships to Cedar Falls High School students interested in pursuing a career in electric line construction, gas and water construction, gas services, digital technology or any other utility related field.

“We want high school students to recognize there are a lot of great opportunities in the utility industry,” says Audra Heineman, CFU Human Resources Manager. 

Some students can complete minimal training and start a job with competitive pay and benefits right after graduation.

“Students may not realize there are trade programs where you can graduate in two years and begin your career earning a competitive salary,” says Audra.

Each year up to three students are selected and receive a $1,500 scholarship to help with tuition. 

Students must complete a job shadow at CFU to qualify. Interested students can contact Cedar Falls High School Counselor Chris Wood to coordinate a job shadow and complete an application. The deadline is April 1. Questions can be directed to Chris at 319-553-2637 or chris.wood@cfschools.org.
