CMAA Georgia Scholarship

Scholarship Recipients
The Georgia Chapter announced recently the three recipients of the 2009 scholarships who
exhibited a fine academic record coupled with meeting the high standards of the eligibility 
requirements are:
Kate Hargrove - Columbus State University, Communications (Green Island CC)
Vernon Harris - University of West GA, Business Management (Atlanta Athletic Club)

Dear Fellow Club Managers,
 
As we are all aware, one of the main objectives of CMAA is to encourage the education and
advancement  of its members. A number of years ago, the Georgia Chapter adopted and 
sponsored a Scholarship Program  with the purpose of encouraging the attainment of higher 
educational goals for children, grandchildren, stepchildren or adopted children of a Georgia
CMAA member, as well as promoting current CMAA student chapter members.
 
The Georgia Chapter Scholarship Program is designed to award three scholarships annually in
the amount of $1,000 to undergraduate or graduate students. The applicants must have a 
cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 on a 4.0 grading scale in order to be considered
eligible for the scholarship program and must be considered a full time student by an accredited
college or university. 
 
All applications must be returned to me by October 1. More information and a detailed
application can  be found on the web at www.gacmaa.org or by contacting me at 
(706) 324-7191 or by e-mail at jblais@greenislandcc.org. 
 
Sincerely,
 
Jeffrey J. Blais, CCM
Scholarship Chairman
