Avarie Jackson, Delaney Reynolds Named EREC Scholarship Winners
April 28, 2019
Saturday, Escambia River Electric Cooperative awarded two $4,000 scholarships to local high school seniors. The Escambia County winner was Delaney Reynolds from Northview High School, and the Santa Rosa County winner was Avarie Jackson from Jay High School.
This was EREC’s 22nd year to offer the Herman D. Johnson Scholarship Awards to graduating seniors with a parent or guardian that is a member of the cooperative..
In the past, capital credits issued by EREC that were unclaimed had to be turned over to the state. But state legislation now allows such funds to be deposited into a qualified, educational charity fund. The EREC membership voted to use these funds in the form of scholarships.
Both students will receive $1,000 for each of four years provided they continue to meet the scholarship criteria.
