2009 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

Young people are the future of tomorrow. This is an old adage, however, it is the truth. The CCSO scholarship brings forth some of the finest young people to our attention. All of these young individuals stand out because of their community involvement and drive for excellence. They have kept a grade point average in high school well above 3.5, which is not an easy task when participating in school, church, and community activities. We applaud them all and wish them a bright tomorrow.

 

Congratulations to the
2009 CCSO Scholarship Winners!

This year the CCSO main office was inundated with scholarship applications. The applicants had high grade point averages, participated in school activities and volunteered within their community. Wow, it was refreshing to reflect on these fine, young individuals. After much thought, a decision was made by the State President to honor all eligible applicants. President Tatum believes that it is today’s outstanding youth that will keep America strong. Therefore, (13) thirteen applicants were given $500 with one young person who stood out amongst the rest that was given $1000. The remaining applicants who met the April 30 th deadline but did not have the required grade point average were given $100 for encouragement.
