The Metro Atlanta Relocation Council recently announced the recipients of its first scholarship fund. The $1,500 college scholarship, which was offered to students who relocated to Atlanta during high school, was awarded to two seniors in the counties of Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb and Gwinnett.
Forty-five students from 33 high schools applied for the scholarship. The award, which was based on the student’s transcript, extra-curricular activities and a written essay, was made possible through a grant from the Foundation for the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council and is awarded annually.
The two winners include Daniel “Quinn” van Zanten from Carrollton High School, who will be attending Auburn University, and Jessica “Presley” Davis from Lambert High School, who will attend the University of Georgia.
