Scholarship recipients will be selected based on essay content, participation in leadership roles, volunteer work, community service, activities and grade-point average. Applicants must be enrolled in their first full-time program at an undergraduate school. They also must be less than 25 years old and either a dependent of a current Alliant Energy customer or a customer themselves. 

Applications are being accepted through February 3rd, 2026. 

In 2025, nearly 100 students received scholarships from Alliant Energy. These contributions totaled more than $110,000 to offset tuition costs and student loans.
