DAYTON — The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L) and Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (Vectren) are offering three scholarships to high school seniors who plan to work in the energy industry.

Each $1,000 scholarship will be granted for college tuition and expenses to deserving students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, knowledge and an interest in continuing their studies by pursuing an energy-related career.

The scholarships will be facilitated by the Ohio Energy Project, a nonprofit, energy-education organization that also works with DP&L and Vectren on their energy efficiency programs and activities.

Students applying for the scholarships must be graduating seniors and members of families who are DP&L or Vectren customers. Students must present involvement in energy-related classroom, school or community activities or programs.

The deadline for applying for a scholarship is April 15.
