Scholarship Recipient
Congratulations to our first scholarship recipient:
Christopher Scott
The only son and second child of Kent and Janet Scott, Chris received his primary and secondary education in the Chatham County Public School System. His scholastic achievements include Duke Talent Identification Program, Honor Roll, and an Academic Letter in Science, an Academic Pin in Math, and an Academic Pin in Work-Based Learning. In June 2009, Christopher became an honor graduate of Herschel V. Jenkins High school, earning a College Prep Seal with Distinction and a Technical/Career Prep Seal with Distinction.
Chris is a lifelong member of St. Philip Monumental A.M.E. Church. He participates in the following youth ministries: Kids in Praise Choir, Praise Team, Young Peoples Division (where he serves as President), and, he was deemed a Youth Steward of the church. Chris also served as a delegate to the Sunday School Convention and Sixth Episcopal District Leadership Congress.
Christopher’s extra-curricular affiliations include Chatham County Youth Commissioner, Future Business Leader of America, and Kappa Leadership and Development League. One of his most recent endeavors was his service at American Legion Georgia Boys State, a comprehensive state-wide program focused on state and local government. Chris was also appointed to the Youth Apprenticeship Program at Gulfstream Corporation where he received on-the-job training and workforce preparation. Christopher’s community service includes volunteering at The Ronald McDonald House, City of Savannah Cultural Arts, and Habitat for Humanity.
Mr. Scott’s post-secondary endeavor is to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Business at Georgia State University. Upon graduating from college, Chris will seek a career in banking and world finance. He sees himself in the future living in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia successfully and gainfully employed as an accountant or financial consultant.
Here’s a portion of Chris’ Essay…
How do I plan to utilize the ministry’s influence to help others?
"The youth body at St. Philip is a prime example that some of the kids in my community are trying to do the right thing, despite what society may say about the youth of today. Structured activities, purposeful instruction and leadership modeling are descriptive of the guidance I received by those that taught me early lessons of compassionate service and liturgical evangelism. My involvement and participation in youth ministries has helped me to defy AND deny African American male stereotypes. Because of the influence and impact of my early exposure to Sunday school, KUUMBA, Tribe of Judah, and other youth ministries, I will not become a statistic! I will conscientiously and continuously strive for excellence in all of my endeavors and I pledge to be a positive role model of distinction!!!"
