Walter Harrison Scholarship

Cobb EMC is proud to help our members pursue the dream of a college education. Each year, we offer the Walter Harrison Scholarship through Georgia EMC. The $1,000 scholarship honors the late Walter Harrison, a rural electrification pioneer and electric cooperative leader, and is awarded to students who excel in the areas of GPA, SAT scores, academic standing and honors, and who demonstrate a financial need. The scholarship may be used at any two-year or four-year accredited college or university in Georgia, including technical schools. Cobb EMC forwards five entries to the statewide selection committee, which includes EMC directors and managers from across Georgia. Eligibility requirements and important deadlines are listed below.
