Superintendent Dr. Lynn Barber is proud to announce that Satilla Rural Electric Membership Corporation has generously contributed to the Georgia REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) Scholarship Program, continuing its tradition of investing in the future of our community.
The REACH program identifies promising eighth-grade students who demonstrate academic potential and financial need, then surrounds them with mentors, coaches, and support through high school. Upon graduation, these scholars earn a college scholarship of up to $10,000, with many Georgia colleges matching or doubling the award.
Satilla REMC’s donation helps make these scholarships possible for Ware County’s REACH Scholars. This support ensures that local students not only dream of higher education but also have the means to pursue it.
“We are deeply grateful to Satilla REMC for their commitment to our students,” said Supt. Barber. “Their partnership helps us remove barriers and open doors of opportunity that can change the course of a student’s life.”
Ware County Schools has 25 REACH Scholars. With the help of partners like Satilla REMC, these students are gaining the tools and confidence to achieve their goals and inspire others.
Satilla REMC’s gift is more than a financial contribution; it is an investment in the strength and future of Ware County.
