Congratulations,Students!

Each year, members of the Coweta-Fayette Trust (the management arm of Operation Round-Up) award scholarships to outstanding students.

Newnan Army Recruiting Station - Presenter SFC Radford and recipient Christopher Covington.

We take education very seriously here at Coweta-Fayette EMC, and we think it's among our corporate responsibilities to support local students and the educational systems within our service area. That’s why we established the Melissa Segars Memorial Scholarship which is funded through the EMC’s Operation Round-Up program.

So, thanks to participating EMC members who contribute to the fund monthly (they allow us to “round up” their electric bill to the next highest dollar and donate the difference), 18 outstanding students will receive assistance to further their education!

Yes, we congratulate all of you for your accomplishments and encourage you in your future endeavors.
