Glynn and Mildred Carpenter Scholarship Program

Glynn Carpenter was manager/CEO of Woodruff Electric Cooperative for 34 years. He and his wife, Mildred, both came from humble beginnings in Ashley County. Mr. Carpenter worked in the electric cooperative system for 53 years, retiring in 2003.

Both Glynn and Mildred were strong advocates of higher education. Mr. Carpenter recognized the value of education and encouraged his employees, family and acquaintances to better themselves with learning.

In honor of Glynn and Mildred Carpenter, the Board of Directors of Woodruff Electric Cooperative has established the Glynn and Mildred Carpenter Scholarship Program. The scholarships will be awarded to 2025 graduating high school seniors.

The 2025 application will be available in January of 2025.
