The City of Alcoa Electric Department is proud to announce that Miranda Makayla Lindsey has been awarded a $4,000 scholarship through a special program made possible by the City and other local power companies across TVA’s seven-state service area.
Makayla, the daughter of Mike LIndsey, Engineering and Operations Superintendent with the City of Alcoa Electric Department, is among 31 recipients of this year’s Power Play scholarships, provided by the Power Play Scholarship Association to recognize outstanding academic performance and a commitment to community service among high school seniors whose parents are employed by local power companies.
After graduating from William Blount High School, where she was in the top 10% of her class, Makayla will be pursuing a career as a Dental Hygienist, starting first at Pellissippi State Community College before transferring to Roane State Community College.
Since they were established in 1995, 548 Power Play scholarships have been awarded through contributions and fund-raising efforts by the Power Play Scholarship Association and its members. In 2017, 142 applications were received from across the Tennessee Valley.
