Open to high school seniors, recent graduates or current full-time students at accredited colleges, universities or technical schools, the Georgia Power Scholarship Program was established in 1988 by former Georgia Power and later Southern Company President and CEO Bill Dahlberg.

This year, 21 scholarships were awarded in the amount of $2,500 each. Since its inception, more than 500 scholarships have been provided to students. Scholarship recipients are selected on a combination of characteristics, including grades, activities, work experience, community involvement and leadership.
