Golick campaign awards scholarships

State Rep. Rich Golick, R-Smyrna, has announced the two winners of his annual State House Scholarship Fund — awards his campaign committee have given to students in his district over the past 15 years.

The $1,000 scholarships were given to Rayleigh Rozier, a Campbell High School graduate and a University of Georgia freshman, and John A. “Jag” Gangemi, a Westiminster School graduate and Georgia Tech freshman. Golick said the scholarships have one condition: “Years from now when they achieve the level of success they can and will reach, they must help a student on the way up just as they have been helped. Pay it forward.”
