Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC), in conjunction with the Walton Electric Trust, is proud to once again offer scholarships for the 2021-2022 college school year.
In the spring of 2021, Walton EMC 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.
Please direct students to apply directly to Walton EMC in
accordance with the application. The
application deadline is (due to Walton EMC) no later than Friday, January 29,
2021. 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.
