Jackson EMC offers $1,000 scholarships for students Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) is currently taking applications for three scholarship awards based on academic ability, faculty recommendations and financial need. Winners will be chosen by a scholarship com mittee, which will review each application in search of the most qualified applicants. The Walter Harrison Scholarship is named for a leader in the state and national electric cooper ative movements. Several of these $1,000 schol arships 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-Gainesville State College Award is available exclusively to students planning to attend Gainesville State College. Financial need is a primary consideration, but judges will also consider academic average, standardized test scores and/or faculty recom mendations. The A.T. Sharpton Unrestricted Scholarship Award is funded through the same trust but is payable to undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in any accredited two- or four-year col lege or university in the nation. Financial need, academic average, standardized test scores and/ or faculty recommendations are all considered equally by the judges. Scholarship eligibility is restricted 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 stu dents at the undergraduate or graduate level. Scholarship recipients must be a customer of Jackson EMC or the son or daughter of a cus tomer, and they must also be a resident of the home served by Jackson EMC.
