Scholarship
The Metro Atlanta Relocation Council (MARC) is sponsoring our second annual scholarship program for current high school seniors who have relocated into the Atlanta area.
The student must have relocated more than 50 miles sometime between grades 9 (after completion of 8th grade) and 12 and changed schools due to their family's relocation. Residence eligibility is defined as a senior attending a private or public school in any city or county district within Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, or Gwinnett Counties as well as any county immediately bordering these counties. They must also have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 (or equivalent achievement on a different scale).
Students will be evaluated on academic performance, extra-curricular activities, and on their response to an essay addressing the way they handled the challenges associated with relocating to a new area and a new high school.
The one-time award of $1,500 will be presented to an area high school senior this year and will be sent to the college that the student will be attending to assist with tuition, etc. There is a possibility of a second scholarship being awarded through a match by the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council Foundation (WERC). Applications must be received by February 29, 2012. The winner will be asked to present their essay at our April MARC meeting.
