Entergy Awards $5,000 Community Power Scholarships to Mississippi Students
Entergy is supporting recent high school graduates across its four-state service region by awarding $5,000 scholarships through its Community Power Scholarship program.
For 2025, seven outstanding students from Mississippi—along with children of Entergy employees—have been selected for their strong commitment to academics, community service, and leadership. These one-time awards can be used toward tuition at accredited vocational-technical schools as well as two-year and four-year colleges and universities.
“These students have shown remarkable determination to build promising futures while strengthening their communities,” said Haley Fisackerly, president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi. “Through the Community Power Scholarship program, we’re proud to help them pursue higher education and continue making a difference. Supporting the next generation of leaders reflects Entergy’s core value of giving back.”
