Students and their parents are invited and encouraged to participate in this free scholarship fair. This event will introduce “everyday students” to the private scholarship application process. The fair is designed to ensure that two core populations of students, low-wealth students with “average” GPAs (2.5 – 3.3) and middle-income students seeking merit-based aid can effectively address the gaps in their financial aid packages.
Parking is available in the deck located at the corner of Washington Street and Memorial Drive as well as paid on-street parking around City Hall.
More than 350 Atlanta public school students will be actively engaged in at least two scholarship preparatory stations and gain valuable insight on the following: Maximizing Your Eligibility, Navigating the Scholarship Research Maze, Crafting Winning Essays and Nailing the Scholarship Interview. Scholarship giveaways will be provided by Sodexo-Jackmont Hospitality, a leading provider of food and facilities management. Students can apply for a $1,000 Sodexo-Jackmont Hospitality Scholarship here.
