The student must have a 3.0 GPA to apply. An essay and recommendation letters are required as well, students need to keep these requirements in mind as well.

Walton EMC is pleased to offer again the Walter Harrison Scholarship to students. In 1987, Georgia EMC, along with the 42 EMC's in Georgia, established a scholarship fund in honor of Walter Harrison. Harrison, called "Mr. Rural Electrification" in Georgia, was nationally known for his lifetime efforts to make electricity available to every home in Georgia.  Ten scholarships in the amount of $1,000 will be awarded for 2017. The scholarship application and criteria list can be found at www.waltonemc.com/walterharrison. The application, along with supporting data, must be received by Walton EMC no later than January 20. 

Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC), in conjunction with the Walton Electric Trust, is proud to once again offer scholarships for the 2017-2018 college school year. 

In the spring of 2017, we will award between 30 and 32 scholarships to graduating high school seniors whose primary residence is served by Walton EMC.  Each scholarship will be worth $4,000 to students who best demonstrate the EMC spirit of community service, hard work and perseverance.  The successful candidate will not necessarily have the top grades in the class, but will have demonstrated their willingness to help others, study hard, and succeed despite any obstacles that they may have had to overcome.

Many potentially good candidates have not applied for the scholarship thinking that they do not have good enough grades to win. Walton has awarded some scholarships in the last several years to students that carried less than a “B” average.  The intangibles have proven to be much more persuasive to our judges than just GPA and test scores.   

The scholarship will be available to pursue education objectives at any accredited college, university, or vocational/ technical school, not just four-year institutions. Applications may be picked up in the Counseling Office. The applications are due to Walton EMC by no later than Monday, January 30, 2017.  There will be no exceptions to the deadline.
