NEWNAN, Ga., Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet,
Cable & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services
provider, today announced the company has developed a scholarship
program for students at Newnan,
East Coweta and Northgate high
schools to help advance their college education. In total, WOW!
will provide $13,500 for students
headed to college or a trade school for the 2022 - 2023 academic
year. Up to three students will be selected from each Newnan-area high school to be awarded the
scholarship amount of $1,500 based on
their applications.
WOW! recently joined the Newnan
community as part of its transition from NuLink, one of the
previous broadband providers in the area. As part of its renewed
commitment to servicing the community, which also includes
investing millions of dollars to upgrade its services in the area,
WOW! is offering the scholarship to seniors in the area to help
financially support the students' first year of college or trade
school. To be considered for the scholarship, students will
complete an application that will include an essay question,
details around the student's community service involvement, and
their GPA.
"Now that we are officially in Newnan as WOW!, it's so important to us to
stand with and give back to this community that has persevered in
light of so much this past year," said Teresa Elder, CEO of WOW!. "We are pleased to
establish this scholarship fund for graduating seniors. Whether it
be used for books, a new laptop or a college course, we are
grateful to contribute to these students' ongoing academic
journeys."
Scholarship applications will be available on each high school's
scholarship website between December and January and will be due in
the spring. If additional help is needed, please reach out to your
guidance counselor for more information. Winners will be announced
during scholarship ceremonies in the spring.
