Scholarships

Striving to actively support local students, Carroll EMC is proud to offer these scholarship opportunities.

Walter Harrison Scholarship

The Harrison scholarship is named in honor of a leader in the state and national electric cooperative movements. The Harrison Trust awards several $1,000 scholarships statewide to undergraduate students enrolled in or accepted by a Georgia college, university or technical school.

Carroll EMC selects one semifinalist from its service area to compete at the state level. Judges select winners for the Harrison Scholarship each year based on financial need and academic ability.

The scholarship can be used at any accredited two-or four-year university, college or vocational-technical institute in Georgia. Applicants must reside in the household of a Carroll EMC member or employee, and show proof of enrollment in an accredited undergraduate program, either full time or part time.

Applications due to Carroll EMC on or before February 1.
