Chelsey Hair receives scholarship from Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives

In March, Chelsey Hair of Ross Township was chosen as the recipient of the Michael L. Sims Scholarship during our annual Children of Members Scholarship Competition. Chelsey will receive a $2,500 scholarship each year of her college career for up to four years. The scholarship is named after Michael L. Sims, who was Butler Rural Electric Cooperative’s general manager for 44 years. He retired in 2020

In April, Chelsey was awarded an additional $1,900 scholarship from Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, our statewide services organization. She competed for this scholarship along with 24 other students representing each of Ohio's electric cooperatives.

Chelsey is the daughter of Doug and Kara Hair. She is graduating from Ross High School and will attend Hanover College to major in biology. Chelsey’s favorite extracurricular activity in high school is being a member of the Ross Girls Varsity Soccer Team. She looks forward to continuing to play soccer in college on the Hanover Women’s Soccer Team. After college, Chelsey plans to become a physician assistant or attend medical school and would like to work in the field of oncology.

Congratulations, Chelsey!
