The scholarships are awarded on the basis of a scored essay, academic achievement and financial need. Georgia's EMCs started the scholarship program to honor the late Walter Harrison. Harrison was known in Georgia and across the nation as "Mr. Rural Electrification” for his pioneering efforts in the electrical cooperative industry and for his lifelong dedication to improving life in rural areas.
