This scholarship is in memory of Jody Loudenslager, a 1995 Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association Youth Tour student from Trout Run, Pa.  Jody was among the 230 passengers killed July 17, 1996 when TWA Flight 800 exploded shortly after take-off from New York.  Since Jody was committed to higher education, the scholarship was created to honor her and help Youth Tour participants with college costs.

This scholarship is available to any college-bound or college student who participated in the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association Youth Tour.  Applicants need to furnish necessary aptitude test scores and financial need information.
