Thirty-nine (39) high school seniors will enroll in a four-year college/university, community col-lege, and/or vocational school in Alabama this year with help from the Alabama Municipal Authority (AMEA) and its Member cities/utilities through the 2024 AMEA Scholarship Program.
Each of the 39 scholarship recipients will receive a $2,500 scholarship for a total of $97,500 awarded in this year’s program. AMEA received 130 scholarship applications in the 2024 pro-gram.
Since 1992, AMEA and its Members have provided over $3.5 million in scholarships to the grad-uating high school seniors who receive their electric service from AMEA Members.
To be eligible for the AMEA scholarships, a student’s family must receive electric service from an AMEA Member city electric utility and the student must attend an Alabama college/university or vocational school.
“We take our role as a good corporate citizen seriously,” said Fred D. Clark, Jr., AMEA President & CEO. “That’s why we, along with our Members, support education initiatives, like the AMEA Scholarship Program, that contribute to making our state economically competitive. We congrat-ulate this year’s scholarship winners.”
