Walton EMC is proud to again offer scholarships to senior students. In the spring of 2019, approximately 30 scholarships will be awarded to seniors whose primary residence is served by Walton EMC. Each scholarship will be worth $4,000 to students who best demonstrate 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 overcome. These scholarships have been awarded to students who have less than a "B" average.  The applications can be picked up in the counseling office, and are due to Walton EMC no later than Thursday, January 31. There are no exceptions to the deadline. 

High school seniors planning on majoring in Agribusiness, Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Wildlife, Forestry, Horticulture, Natural Resources, Plant Sciences, Urban Planning, or Water/Soil Resources, may be interested in applying for The Garden Club of Georgia scholarships.  All applications are available online at gardenclub.uga.edu/scholarships.html. High school students can apply for The Garden Club of Georgia, Deep South and National Garden Clubs scholarships. The Cherokee Rose scholarship is for graduate students only. All materials are due by February 1, 2019. 

The Georgia Pilot Foundation will award up to three $1,500 scholarships for outstanding community service to a graduating senior. The Lynda Goodwin Volunteer Scholarship can be picked up in the counseling office and is due back on January 15. If you have at least a B average and actively volunteer in the community, please consider applying. Please apply in advance as you will need to gather a few recommendations and type a short essay on your volunteer experience. 

Last year, Agnes Scott College introduced the Elizabeth Kiss Trailblazer Scholarship, named in honor of our eighth college president Dr. Elizabeth Kiss, the founder of our SUMMIT global learning and leadership development curriculum. In August, we welcomed the largest first-year class in our small college’s history (almost 330 students), and more than 200 of those students were recipients of the Trailblazer Scholarship!

If  students apply by our Jan. 15 Early Action II application deadline and meet the minimum qualifications, they could qualify for the Trailblazer – a renewable $25,000-per-year scholarship!

To qualify, a student must simply:

• Complete an application for admission to Agnes Scott (no separate application for the Trailblazer Scholarship is necessary) before our Jan. 15 Early Action II deadline
• Have a cumulative 3.75/4.0 GPA as reported by their high school OR,
• Have a 1250 SAT or 26 ACT score

If the student is admitted to the college and meets the scholarship qualifications mentioned above, the student WILL receive the Trailblazer Scholarship!
