Don’t miss these oppor­tu­ni­ties to fund your future! Vis­it our web­site for more info and to apply.

Edu­ca­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ties like these are fund­ed by Georgia’s elec­tric coop­er­a­tives and Coastal Elec­tric mem­bers who want to invest in local stu­dents because they see the val­ue they bring to the com­mu­ni­ty. Fund­ing for foun­da­tion schol­ar­ships comes from Coastal Elec­tric mem­bers who allow their elec­tric bills to be round­ed up to the next dol­lar through Oper­a­tion Round Up. Those nick­els and dimes are pooled togeth­er and invest­ed back into the com­mu­ni­ty through the Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive Foun­da­tion.
