GreyStone Power will be offering scholarships for students going to lineman school. Four $5,000 scholarships will be awarded this spring to assist, support and encourage local individuals entering a lineman training school in Georgia.

Students who apply for the scholarship must be a high school graduate, GED equivalent, or be a graduating senior in good standing; a GreyStone Power member or GreyStone Power member’s child living in a home served by GreyStone Power; drug free; have a safe driving record to be verified through a Georgia Motor Vehicle Report and no known medical issues that would prohibit the student from eventually obtaining a Commercial Driver’s License and must be willing to sign a photo release.

Individuals who are interested in applying must complete an application, submit a 250-500 word typed essay on “Why I want to be a lineman,” two letters of recommendation (one personal and one professional or academic) and be available for an interview with the scholarship selection team.
