Students quickly acquire empathy, and successively compassion, by engaging in public service in their communities. Such selfless service achieves peaceful behavior at school and personal self-worth. As adults, these students become able parents and productive members of society.

The primary purpose of the Peter R. Marsh Foundation’s Silent Servant Scholarship Award is to provide high school educators with a meaningful opportunity to utilize an in-school award presentation and the Award Recipient’s personal testimony to create a developmentally-receptive audience of student-peers in a “teachable moment” to learn behavioral empathy and community service opportunities from their educators.

Students seeking service academy nomination face October deadlines

U.S. representatives serving congressional districts that include Gwinnett County are accepting applications from high school seniors seeking a nomination to one of the country’s military service academies. Young people who receive an appointment to a U.S. military service academy receive military and leadership training while earning a college degree, with the federal government paying tuition, room, and board during the four-year program. Service academy graduates are commissioned as an officer in their respective branch upon graduation, and are obligated to serve on active duty in the U.S. military for a minimum of five years.

Members of Congress may nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. service academies—the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (Army), the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. (The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.)

At Bold.org, we believe that the world will be shaped by the bold—the fighters, the risk-takers, the earnest overachievers who won’t take no for an answer—the ones who know that a mountain is climbed a step at a time.

Bold.org is built for students, like you, who are determined to make the climb.

As you join the Bold.org platform, you get the opportunity to showcase your goals, achievements, and drive to scholarship panels via your student profile.

The $25,000 “Be Bold” Scholarship is a no-essay scholarship that will be awarded to the applicant with the boldest profile.

To us, boldest does not mean “best”, or “most accomplished”. Being bold means being:

• Earnest
• Determined
• Moving

The scholarship will be awarded to the student whose profile is most bold, according to these characteristics.

Furthermore, this scholarship will be similar to the many easy scholarships available on Bold.org in that it will favor students who apply earlier—who are bold and seize the day without procrastinating.

Students at any education level, state, field of study, and GPA will be considered.
