15 Georgia Seniors have a chance to win a piece of the fourth annual Colored Rocks Prize in a competition launched this week by the Colored Rocks Foundation. Applications are accepted until midnight, December 6, 2014 at www.coloredrocks.org.
Atlanta, GA, September 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- 15 Georgia Seniors have a chance to win a piece of the fourth annual Colored Rocks Prize in a competition launched this week by the Colored Rocks Foundation.
Applications are accepted until midnight, December 6, 2014 for the cash award. To enter, senior male students of color attending Georgia high schools (private/public/home school) are asked to register at www.coloredrocks.org and submit an essay that describes why they believe themselves to be a Colored Rock, along with an outline of a personal plan to help develop future Colored Rocks among at-risk students attending middle, elementary or high schools in Georgia. Essays submitted should contain between 500 and 1000 words (one to two pages) and the outlined plan must be executed prior to their high school graduation.
The Colored Rocks Prize is designed to not only shine a positive spotlight on Georgia’s highest achieving male students of color, but to also entice a commitment from these students to use their talents to help develop their struggling peers and motivate them across the high school finish line. The ultimate goal is to improve Georgia’s pathetic high school graduation rate among this target group.
Past recipients of the Colored Rocks Prize include Valedictorian and Gates Millennium Scholar Alex Grady, MDJr. Founder and Ben Carson Legacy Award winner Shaun Verma, Undocumented Student Rights Activist Rolando Zenteno and Greening Forward CEO Charles Orgbon III.
Top recipients of the 2014 Colored Rocks Prize are Nicholas Carter, Qualon Bobbitt and Oluwatosin Olagunju. Hinesville’s Carter, first place prize winner, devoted time to male students in southeast Georgia, turning them on to reading and responsibility. Second place went to Bobbitt, who encouraged Dekalb County students to stay in school and graduate. Third place was captured by Macon’s Olagunju who turned around the lives of underprivileged youth in one of Georgia’s highest at-risk areas.
