Riverwood International Charter School Junior Ellen Bowers Murray was recently selected as one of 2015 Future Leaders of America high school student scholarship winners.

She is the recipient of the Montlick and Associates Scholarship.

The scholarships cover the student‘s round trip airfare, tuition, room and board and transportation in and around Washington to attend the Washington Workshops’ Congressional Seminar June 20-26.

The Washington Workshops Foundation has been successfully holding educational programs for our nation’s youth since 1967.

This six day program works to increase citizen participation in the electoral process while increasing students’ knowledge of contemporary events through informative, on-site dialogue sessions with leaders from both the federal government and private sectors.

Ellen will be recognized along with the other scholarship winners at the Fulton County Law Week Committee Annual Awards Ceremony, which will be held at 11:30 a.m. April 30 in the Jury Services Room at the Fulton County Justice Center Tower.
