DULUTH, Ga.–Georgia United Foundation has named four Georgia high school seniors as recipients of its 2020 High School Scholarship Competition.
This marks the 26th year of their scholarship program, named for the credit union’s founder, Vernon E. Carne, and notable board members Geraldine Tilson, Dorothy Dusenberry Pirkle and Polly Hinde.
Recipients were selected based on a one-minute creative video submission describing how they will use their education to help their community, with additional consideration given to academic accomplishments and demonstrated leadership and participation in both school and community activities.
“We are honored to continue our long-standing tradition of offering scholarships to help our high school members further their education. This year’s recipients showed outstanding creativity, strong academic and leadership skills, with solid plans to give back to their community,” shared Georgia United President and CEO Debbie Smith.
