Valdosta State University's Cody Crance Awarded Colquitt EMC Scholarship

2015 Jul 13

Valdosta State University's Cody Crance of Ray City, Georgia, has been awarded a Colquitt EMC scholarship for the 2015-2016 academic year.

"Colquitt EMC is pleased to be able to provide scholarships for these students," said Danny Nichols, general manager. "We are proud to have the opportunity to support our members in furthering their education and the institutions they choose to attend."

Colquitt EMC's scholarship program began in 2006 after Georgia legislators passed a law allowing electric cooperatives to use unclaimed capital credit refunds for education in the communities they serve. Since that time, the nonprofit corporation has been able to fund $1,698,000 in academic scholarships to over 600 students.
