MOULTRIE —
Colquitt EMC is currently accepting applications for the Walter Harrison Scholarship, a program sponsored by Georgia EMC, the statewide trade association representing the state’s 42 EMCs.
The $1,000 scholarship can be applied to academic expenses at any accredited two- or four-year university, college or vocational-technical institute in Georgia.
Created in 1985 by the board of directors of Georgia EMC, the scholarship pays tribute to the late Walter Harrison, a pioneer in the rural electricity movement and a leader at local, state and national levels in the electric cooperative program. Since its inception, Georgia’s electric cooperatives have awarded more than $140,000 to students via the Walter Harrison Scholarship program.
Factors for consideration include grade point average, SAT scores, academic standing, scholastic honors and financial need. Students applying for the scholarship must be accepted or enrolled in an accredited undergraduate degree program, complete an application and write a biographical sketch which provides a preview of his or her future plans.
To receive an application, contact Colquitt EMC in Moultrie at 229-985-3620 or visit www.colquittemc.com. Completed applications are due by Feb. 1.
