Deadline is January 30th: Walton EMC Scholarship APPLICATION
REMINDER OF SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC), in conjunction
with the Walton Electric Trust, is proud to once again offer scholarships for
the 2015-2016 college school year.
In the spring of 2015, 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.
We are asking for your assistance in identifying good
candidates for our program. 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. Please
help us find worthy candidates for these scholarships.
The scholarship will be available to pursue education
objectives at any accredited college, university, or vocational/ technical
school, not just four-year institutions.
Please direct students to apply directly to Walton EMC in
accordance with the application. The
applications are due to Walton EMC by no later than Friday, January 30,
2015. There will be no exceptions to the
deadline.
If you have any questions, please call Sarah Malcom at
770-266-2391 or email semalcom@waltonemc.com.
Application information is on the Scholarship Postings Page of the Guidance Blog.
