The Tearte Family Foundation is pleased to sponsor three scholarships of $2000 each exclusively to seniors in the Men of Tomorrow Program of the North Metro Atlanta Chapter of 100 Black Men. The deadline is February 29, 2020.
Interested young men who have successfully participated in the Men of Tomorrow Program are eligible to compete for this scholarship during their senior year in high school. This is a one-time award for each student. The scholarship application package should include the application form, an essay and two recommendation letters. One recommendation letter must be from a 100 Black Men Mentor and the other from an individual such as a counselor, teacher, or community member. The recommender must not be related to the student.
Scholarship applications must be submitted prior to February 29, 2020 if the student is graduating in Spring 2020 and the awards will be announced at the 100 Black Men Youth Achievement Luncheon April 18, 2020. The 100 Black Men Scholarship Selection Committee of the Tearte Family Foundation will determine the recipients.
The scholarship funds are for the purpose of offsetting tuition, the purchase of books or student fees. Funds for the scholarship will be paid directly to the student’s institution of higher learning at the beginning of the academic year and the student is responsible for providing a request for the payment as soon as an acceptance letter is submitted and the student is enrolled in the college/university and received their student ID Number.
The student agrees to provide the Tearte Family Foundation with an annual scholarship report updating us on the academic progress and performance of the student(s) selected to hold this scholarship. In addition to receiving the scholarship, the student supported by this grant will also be designated as a “Tearte Scholar”. The student will serve as a mentor for the Tearte Family Foundation Education Portfolio and assist other scholars in their pursuit of higher education. The Tearte Scholar and the Tearte Family Foundation will work together on programmatic initiatives including face-to-face meetings and participation in quarterly conference calls. Upon college graduation, Tearte Scholars will consider making a charitable contribution to the Tearte Family Foundation.
