Carrollton Junior High School issued the following announcement on Jan. 21.
The Carrollton City Schools Education Foundation recently announced the creation of a new scholarship which will benefit students attending West Georgia Technical College to pursue a trade certification or degree program.
The Clay Robinson family scholarship was established by Carrollton native Clay Robinson who has served the community for more than 27 years as a financial advisor and volunteer for various community organizations.
Robinson created this scholarship to encourage students to pursue trade programs as a career option. His hope is that students will achieve success and be a productive member of the workforce.
“My hope is that this scholarship will provide a means by which a deserving student can learn a trade and become a productive member of our community,” said Robinson.
For a student to be considered for this scholarship, he/she must meet the following criteria:
- 2.5 minimum high school GPA
- Letter of recommendation from a teacher
- Essay: " What are your plans after high school and what trade are you interested in pursuing and why"?
