John Lewis Legacy of Courage Scholarship Endowed by the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl

Established by Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl of Atlanta, Georgia. Priority of consideration is given to students who are graduates from Title 1 schools within the Atlanta Public Schools system, which include: BEST Academy, Carver High School, Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy, Douglass High School, Jackson High School, Mays High School, South Atlanta High School, Therrell High School and Washington High School. If no student is identified from the Atlanta Public Schools system in a given semester or academic year, second priority of consideration is given to students from any Title 1 high school in the metro Atlanta area. Third priority of consideration is given to any student from Grady High School, North Atlanta High School or any Title 1 high school in the state of Georgia. If no students are identified from the above criteria, the scholarship may be awarded to other Title 1 high school students as determined by the University. Once a student has been awarded the scholarship, they will continue to receive the scholarship throughout their academic career at the University, provided they are in good academic standing. The full amount of the earnings account for each year must be allocated for the identified student(s) unless the student’s remaining need is less than the award amount. At this point, consideration may be made to award any remaining balance to another student. In the event that more than one student qualifies for a single award in the same year or semester, preference is given to one student based on academic merit in accordance with standard University policy and with agreement from the Donor Representative. The University should not select more than one student for the award without consultation and agreement from the Donor Representative. The Donor Representative requests that the administrator of the scholarship provide basic biographical information for each scholarship recipient, including name, classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.), hometown, high school attended, major, anticipated graduation date and amount of scholarship received.
