CARR & WEATHERBY SCHOLARSHIP FOR AT-RISK YOUTH [DEADLINE: JAN. 1, 2020]

Here at Carr & Weatherby, we care deeply about the homeless population in Atlanta. We have created a Scholarship for At-Risk Youth, which we hope can help create a brighter future for deserving students pursuing their dreams. While one may associate homelessness with older adults, youth may also find themselves without a secure place to live. When a young person has no home, or worries about where they will sleep that night, education often becomes an afterthought. That’s why we have created the Carr & Weatherby Scholarship for At-Risk Youth. We want to give back to the community by offering help to students who are homeless or who have experienced homelessness, including at-risk, foster care and/or youth with critical financial needs.

Eligibility: You are either accepted to or currently enrolled in an accredited college or university within the United States

Award: $1,000

Requirements: Minimum 3.0 GPA

Submission components: (1) Official copy of transcript; (2) completed application; and (3) essay (no more than 250 words) on one of these topics:

In what ways has homelessness, or the threat of being homeless, shaped your goals and priorities, including your education? How have you overcome a particular challenge associated with being homeless/at risk for homelessness? In what ways would a college education change your life and, in turn, the lives of your loved ones and others around you?
