Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC), in conjunction with the Walton Electric Trust, is proud to once again offer scholarships for the 2022-2023 college school year
In the spring of 2022, 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 28, 2022. 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.
A copy of the application and instructions is attached.
Thank you.
