The Georgia Brownfield Association offers the Darahyl Dennis Scholarship, dedicated posthumously to one of the founders of the organization focused on advocating for brownfield redevelopment across the state. The scholarship aspires to honor the legacy of Darahyl Dennis’ contribution to the organization and to the environmental and brownfield redevelopment field as a whole. In recognition of his legacy and the importance of environmental education, Georgia Power Company is generously contributing a $10,000 grant to help fund the scholarship.

Georgia Brownfield Association aims to award one $2,500 scholarship per year to a student exploring environmental-focused educational programs at Georgia Colleges and Universities, who are excelling at relevant courses, including but not limited to Geology, Biology or Environmental Engineering. Eligible candidates will be well-rounded, with a demonstrated interest in environmental work, including participation in relevant research, internships, or projects, with a long-term vision for impacting environmental sustainability, assessment and remediation, or conservation efforts.

The deadline to submit scholarship applications is Friday, Jan. 31, 2025. The scholarship recipient will be recognized at the 2025 GBA Brownfield Seminar on April 16, 2025 at Georgia Power.
