Northview High School Graduate Wins $10,000 Scholarship

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- Cox Enterprises announced last week the recipients of scholarships provided by The Jim Kennedy Scholarship Fund, which supports children of company employees and awards 10 $10,000 scholarships.

The scholarship, which is awarded on an annual basis, is automatically renewed for up to three additional academic years - reaching a total value of $40,000 – if the student meets the established criteria
