The Robert Emmet Society is based in Petoskey, Michigan, the county seat of Emmet County. Its mission is to create awareness among the local population about Irish Patriot Robert Emmet (1778 - 1803), the namesake of Emmet County, which is located in northwestern Michigan on the shores of Lake Michigan. The Society's major purpose is the annual awarding of a scholarship to a student at North Central Michigan College for one semester of study at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology. Information on the scholarship competition, now in its 13th year, may be obtained by emailing the Society, info@emmetsociety.org.
