CSRA College
Night Provides $17,000 in Scholarships to Area Students
Approximately
8,000 high school students from throughout the CSRA recently
descended upon the James Brown Arena in Augusta for this year’s
CSRA College Night.
The masses
of eager students roaming two levels of the civic center generated
an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. For many, this
was their first important step towards selecting a college
or university.
“College Night provides a valuable resource to CSRA
high school students as they decide which college or university
to attend,” said Chuck Munns, President and CEO, Savannah
River Nuclear Solutions, LLC. “Working with our co-sponsors,
we’re pleased to help continue a tradition that provides
one-stop shopping for a large and diverse selection of college
and university recruiters.”
Information
booths manned by representatives from more than 150 colleges
and universities attended the event.
Scholarships
totaling approximately $17,000 were presented to several lucky
students attending CSRA College Night, which was held on Thursday,
Sept. 11. The annual event is free and open to the public.
