Walton EMC Scholarship App is OPEN!

Walton Electric Membership Corporation, in conjunction with Operation Round Up, is proud to offer The Walton Electric Trust Scholarship once again for the 2026 – 2027 school year and we are now accepting online applications.

In the spring of 2027, (32) $4000.00 scholarships and (28) $1000.00 scholarships will be awarded to graduating high school seniors whose primary residence is located in the Walton EMC service territory. These successful applicants do not necessarily have the top grades in class but will have demonstrated the WEMC spirit of community service, hard work, and perseverance, and success in overcoming obstacles. Several scholarships have been awarded to students who have carried barely a “B” average. The intangibles have proven to be much more persuasive to our judges than just a GPA and test scores.

These scholarships are available to those students seeking to pursue furthering their education at any accredited college, university, or vocational/technical school, not just four-year institutions.

Graduating seniors can now start applying for the Walton Electric Trust Scholarship, beginning today (October 26, 2026) through January 25, 2027, online at www.waltonemc.com.
