Wells is one of 32 students across the state selected this year for the scholarship, which is funded by Energy Southeast, the energy provider for Fairhope Public Utilities. In total, the company is distributing $80,000 in scholarship funds to high school seniors in Alabama.

“We are thrilled for Amelia and her achievements,” Sullivan said in a news release. “This scholarship will help her continue her education and contribute to her bright future. We are grateful to Energy Southeast for their continued support of our students and their commitment to fostering educational opportunities in our community.”
