Deshera Mack Scholarship

This is a one time $1,000 scholarship in memory of Deshera Mack. The award will be paid by the Public School Foundation to the two or four year post- secondary school the recipient plans to attend. To be eligible, the student must meet the following criteria:

  • Graduating senior in good standing from a Chapel Hill-Carrboro High School
  • Meaningful volunteer experience
  • Interest in pursuing a career in Education

*While financial need is not a requirement for this scholarship, the committee may take financial circumstances into account in the event of a tie between equally qualified applicants. Applicants are encouraged to provide financial information if they would like it considered during the selection process.

**Though AI can be useful to help find words to express oneself and check grammar – when reviewing applications, the members of the scholarship selection committees will look for answers that reflect the applicant’s specific experiences and provide examples.
