Power Play scholarship recipients are chosen by an eight-member selection team of educators from colleges and universities in the seven states of the Tennessee Valley and are selected based on academic achievement, standardized test scores, leadership qualities, letters of recommendation and written essays.

Made up of 16 local power company managers representing the Valley region’s 153 LPCs and TVA representatives, the Power Play Scholarship Association has awarded nearly 800 scholarships totaling more than $2.9 million to children of LPC employees since its inception in 1995.
