Ed Budy Lineman Scholarship

This scholarship is in honor of Edward Budy Sr. who retired from Kansas City Power and Light in 2003 after 40+ years of service. Ed was inducted into the International Lineman Hall of Fame in 2015. Soon after retirement, Ed became an instructor for Metropolitan Community College. Over the past 17 years at MCC, he personally trained and mentored 486 students, guiding them along the path to a successful career in linework. His knowledge of the craft, combined with his quick wit and infectious sense of humor, made a lasting impression on everyone he met.
