Thanks to AMEA and its 11 Member cities, 32 high school seniors will enroll in a four-year university or two-year college this year. Through the AMEA Scholarship Program, which was started in 1992, approximately $80,000 in scholarships will be awarded in the 2008 program. 

For the past 16 years, AMEA has assisted deserving students in each of its 11 Member cities with their first-year tuition to a state university. Recognizing that many high school seniors seek training in a technical or trade program, AMEA added the technical scholarship in 2004.

Each year, AMEA and its 11 Member cities make available 22, $2,500 scholarships (two scholarships per Member city), and 11, $2,500 technical scholarships (one technical scholarship per Member city), for a total of 33 scholarships.

To be eligible for either of AMEA’s scholarships, a student’s family must receive electric service from a Member’s electric utility and the student must attend an Alabama college or university.

Applications and all related forms are available from school counselors in AMEA’s Member cities of Alexander City, Dothan, Fairhope, Foley, Lafayette, Lanett, Luverne, Opelika, Piedmont, Sylacauga and Tuskegee.
