Quantum Electrical Contractors continues its support through the David Wright Memorial Scholarship, honoring a legacy of passion, hard work, and opportunity. “The gift of the David Wright scholarship is always heartwarming to me as my father’s love of flying can be seen in each of the recipients, but in Jill’s case it is especially emotional as Jill‘s positivity, work ethic, and drive are the beliefs in our family and our company’s foundation,” said Joseph Wright of Quantum Electrical Contractors. “Jill is the first of the scholarship recipients to receive a second scholarship due to her dedication. We wish her the best moving forward and look to continue to support her.”

The Girl Up! Foundation has also renewed its scholarship program, dedicated exclusively to empowering young women through education and leadership. “Empowering girls through scholarships is more than support, it’s a statement of belief in their strength, brilliance, and right to lead,” said a Girl Up! Foundation representative. “We’re not just funding education; we’re fueling futures. When we offer scholarships to girls, we’re telling them: we see you, we believe in you, and your dreams matter. This is how we lift each other, by opening doors and walking through them together. By providing scholarships exclusively for girls, we are committed to advancing equity in education and leadership. These opportunities are a step toward a more inclusive future, where every young woman has the tools to achieve her full potential.”

“These scholarships are a powerful example of how community partnerships drive opportunities for students,” said Maryiotti Johnson, Assistant Director of Finance and Operations, Flagler County Education Foundation. “Quantum Electrical Contractors and the Girl Up! Foundations are not only funding education, they are shaping futures and creating lasting impact for Flagler County families.”

Scholarship applications for the Class of 2026 will open in November 2025. Eligible seniors are encouraged to apply through the Flagler County Education Foundation’s scholarship portal at https://flaglerschools.awardspring.com.
