Jackson Energy sponsors an essay scholarship program each year that awards eight $2,000 scholarships to outstanding students in our service area.

The essay topic is "If you could improve one thing about your local community, what would it be and how would you work toward making this improvement?" and the essay contest is open to high school seniors whose families are members of Jackson Energy Cooperative.

Applications for the 2019 contest are accepted beginning September 1, 2018, and essays should be postmarked by November 25, 2018. The winning students each receive a $2,000 scholarship. Follow the instructions on the application to submit your essay.
