During March of 2010, Amicalola EMC awarded five $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors from counties in the Amicalola EMC service area. Three $300 scholarships were also awarded to high school seniors chosen to represent Amicalola EMC in the statewide Walter Harrison Scholarship competition. The Walter Harrison Scholarship competition is a statewide competition, administered by Georgia EMC,  giving these students a chance to win an additional $1000.

Scholarships were awarded based upon financial need, grade point average, and SAT/ACT scores.  Students receiving scholarships must be  high school seniors and live in an Amicalola EMC household.  Students must have been accepted into an accredited program, either full or part time. Scholarships may be used toward any two-year or four-year accredited college, university, or technical college.

The deadline for the 2011 competition is January 28, 2011.
