Annual Scholarship Program Honors Prince Georges County Students
U.S. Congresswoman Donna Edwards (D), who defeated 15-year incumbent Albert Wynn (D) in the 2008 Democratic primary, and who also won a special election following Wynn's resignation to fill the remainder of his term, is the keynote speaker at AOBA's Annual Scholarship Program. The Oct. 16th event at the Prince George's County Community College honors eight Prince George's County high school students who will receive scholarships, valued up to $6000, to pay for their tuition at Prince George’s County Community College (PGCC) for a two-year period.
Since its inception in 1996, the AOBA Scholarship program has provided financial, mentoring and internship support to 87 Prince George’s County students. Most of these students have successfully completed two years of study at PGCC, and many AOBA Scholars are currently employed by AOBA member firms.
