The Flint Energies Foundation recently awarded scholarships to 43 students in Flint’s service territory. Winners will receive $2,500 each, for a total of $107,500 awarded to those who are pursuing a degree at a four-year college or university.

 

Scholarships are broken down into three categories: 28 were awarded the Foundation scholarship, 8 were awarded to FFA program participants and 7 to Flint Energies Youth Leadership graduates.

 

“We’re honored to recognize these remarkable student winners who possess qualities similar to the cooperative principles Flint is based on and known for – leadership, dedication and commitment to community. The future, no doubt, will be brighter because of them and what they have to offer to our communities,” says Marian McLemore, Vice President of Cooperative Communications at Flint Energies.

 

The Flint Energies Foundation selected the scholarship winners through an anonymous process based on a written essay, financial need and the applicant’s commitment to community The Flint Energies Foundation Scholarship is limited to students whose primary residence is within one of the 17 counties served by Flint Energies: Bibb, Chattahoochee, Crawford, Dooly, Harris, Houston, Macon, Marion, Monroe, Muscogee, Peach, Schley, Sumter, Talbot, Taylor, Twiggs and Upson. The scholarship program was established in 2015 with the help of abandoned capital credits to encourage and assist in the educational pursuits of students living within Flint’s service area. Since then, Flint Energies and the Flint Energies Foundation have awarded more than $396,000 in college scholarships.
