Last Chance: Apply for PCC Scholarship

Last year, the Paulding County Council of PTAs (PCC) awarded two scholarships, totaling $1,650, to two high school seniors in the county. One of this year’s recipients could be a student you know—if they submit their application before the week’s end.

The first step of the two-step process to become eligible for a PCC scholarship is to join your high school’s PTSA. The final step is to fill out an application form (attached to this article) and submit it with required documentation, which includes copies of SAT/ACT scores, high school and/or college transcripts, a letter of recommendation and a student narrative. More information on the required documents can be found on the application form.

Scholarship applications must be completed and postmarked on or before Saturday. You may mail applications to the Paulding County Council of PTAs, 1186 Colbert Road, Dallas, GA 30132.

Scholarship winners will be selected on the basis of community service and activities, career goals, letters of recommendation, academic excellence and financial need. Choosing the winners will be the scholarship’s five trustees and an additional five-person selection committee.

Another school-related deadline this week deals with younger students in Paulding County Schools. Friday is the last day to apply for school choice under House Bill 251. .
