scholarship opportunity to a student at NOHS. In 1987, Georgia EMC, along with
the 42 EMCs 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 and farm in Georgia.
Eleven scholarships in the amount of $1,000 will be awarded
for 2019. The scholarship application and criteria list can be found at www.waltonemc.com/walterharrison.
