Last Chance to Apply for SBA Scholarship

Last Chance is Smyrna-Vinings Patch’s weekly feature that reminds you of approaching deadlines. And this week we’ve got two reminders for you.

Thursday, April 12 at 3 p.m. is the last chance to pre-register for the Y Not Run 5K and Skirt Run benefitting the YWCA of North Georgia. The race begins Saturday at 8 a.m. at First United Methodist Church of Marietta, 56 Whitlock Avenue. Runners have the option to participate in a traditional 5K or a “skirt run” where women, and especially men, are invited to don their craziest skirts for the race. The race fee is $25. Packet pickup begins at 7 a.m. with the races at 8 a.m. Pre-registration and payment can be completed online. 

Seniors from Osborne and with an interest in business should know that the last day to apply for the Smyrna Business Association Scholarship is Sunday, April 15. Graduating seniors interested in pursuing a business-related degree in college can apply for the SBA Scholarship. Students must fill out the application, write a one-page essay explaining why they should earn the scholarship, attach a pdf copy of their high school transcripts and include a letter of recommendation from a faculty member.

The application can be completed on the website or printed and faxed to the scholarship committee. Fax printed applications to 678-402-6059 and 770-803-6480. The deadline to apply is Sunday, April 15.
