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. 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.
