Scholarships will be awarded to one graduate each from Morristown-Hamblen High School East and Morristown-Hamblen High School West.  

“Our partnership with Walters State plays an integral role in providing quality education and training opportunities, not only for MU’s future workforce but also for businesses and industries throughout the Lakeway Area,” said Stan Greene, director of marketing and public relations at Morristown Utilities. “The Community Care Fund provides valuable support to students pursuing careers in engineering and technology, helping prepare the next generation of skilled professionals. We are honored to partner with Dr. Reyes and Walters State in investing in the future of our students and our community.” 

Morristown Utilities and Walters State developed an apprenticeship program that provides state-mandated training for entry-level CDL drivers.

MU also provided $150,000 to install lighting on the college’s baseball and softball fields, enabling Walters State to host state tournaments that generate significant tourism revenue for the region. MU has also supported the college’s e-sports team.
