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.
