Dozens of Cobb students awarded foundation scholarships
The Cobb Schools Foundation has awarded dozens of scholarships to high school students.
Recipients of the 2016 Cobb Schools Foundation Academic Scholarships were awarded $1,000 based on academics, leadership, extracurricular activities and essay.
The foundation awards scholarships to two graduating seniors from each of the 16 Cobb high schools for a total of $32,000 in scholarships. This year 144 seniors applied for the scholarships, which is a record number for the foundation, according to a statement from the Cobb school system.
The scholarship recipients attended the Cobb Schools Foundation scholarship reception hosted by the Kennesaw Parks & Recreation Department at the Kennesaw Community Center last night.
