Scholarship Program
Fifteen high school seniors have been awarded $2,500.00 scholarships towards their college education through the eighth annual Michael A. DeMayo Scholarship Program.
For the 2009-10 academic year, the Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, L.L.P. expanded and increased its annual scholarship program to include fifteen graduating seniors in 23 of the counties that their offices serve. North Carolina counties included Mecklenburg, Gaston, Catawba, Union, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Lincoln, Rowan, Caldwell, Stanly, Iredell, Alexander, Burke, Robeson, Scotland, Richmond, Anson and Cumberland. South Carolina counties included York, Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlboro and Dillon. Since 2003 our firm has awarded more than $162,000.00 (One Hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand Dollars) in scholarships to 67 high school seniors in North and South Carolina.
This year, the firm's scholarship committee selected students based on their school and community involvement, grades, SAT scores and a presentation (video, PowerPoint, brochure, website or speech) that encouraged fellow teens to abstain from underage drinking and driving and highlighted the dangers of drinking and driving.
For the past seven years, the winners were chosen based on the aforementioned criteria and their response to an essay question that presented a solution or suggestion(s) to prevent underage drinking and driving, the consequences we see frequently in our office.
This year, in an effort to allow the graduating class of 2010 to utilize current technology and express themselves in multiple genres, we modified the criteria for submission. The 2010 scholarship winners were allowed to create presentations on solutions and ideas for the education and prevention of underage drinking and driving though a variety of mediums. As such, the 15 winning presentations were comprised of seven PowerPoint presentations, three public service announcements, two web dedicated sites, two speeches and one brochure. Our firm was very impressed with the presentations we received from so many creative and intelligent young people. It was very obvious that the students clearly understand the potentially devastating consequences of drinking and driving and wanted to try alternative approaches to reach their classmates.
