DALLAS, July 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Associa*, the community management industry’s largest company, is pleased to announce the winners of its 3^rd annual Marianna Brady, PhD. Scholarship. This program is open to children and grandchildren of Associa employees. Students enrolled or preparing to enroll in a post-secondary institution in the fall were invited to apply for $2,500 scholarships that can be used at their choice of university, community college, trade school, or life skills program. Applicants were anonymously evaluated based on academic records, extracurricular activities, work history, community involvement, and teacher recommendations. Using these metrics, the top 11 applicants throughout the United States and Canada were selected as recipients.
The 2023 class of Marianna Brady scholars represents a well-balanced mix of high school and university students across eight U.S. states and one Canadian providence. They are pursuing, or plan to pursue, degrees in a diverse range of fields, such as Animation, Business Administration, Chemistry, Marine Science, Pre-Med, and Wildlife Ecology. Others will attend technical schools to learn a trade, such as Plumbing. Outside the classroom, applicants participated in a wide range of athletic and community outreach activities. Many volunteered with groups such as the Boy Scouts, Catholic Campus Ministry, Distinguished Young Gentlemen, Immigration Awareness Club, LGBTQ awareness, and various youth camps and related organizations.
