The Walter Harrison Scholarship is named for a leader in the state and national electric cooperative movements. Several of these $1,000 scholarships are awarded statewide to undergraduate students enrolled in or accepted by a Georgia college, university or technical school.
Jackson EMC also offers two additional $1,000 awards through the A.T. Sharpton Scholarship program, named in honor of a late chairman of the Jackson EMC Board of Directors.
The A.T. Sharpton Unrestricted Scholarship Award is available to high school seniors who have already been accepted to college, or students who are currently enrolled in an accredited college, university or technical college.
Applicants may be full or part-time students at the undergraduate or graduate level in any accredited two or four-year college or university in the nation.
The A.T. Sharpton-Gainesville State College Award is available exclusively to students planning to attend Gainesville State College.
A scholarship committee will carefully review each application for the most qualified candidates.
Students interested in applying for any or all of these scholarships should contact their area high-school guidance counselors or complete the application online at the Jackson EMC Web site.
