Associa Announces 2022 Marianna Brady, Ph.D. Scholarship Winners
Dallas, TX — June 28, 2022 — Associa, the community management industry’s largest company, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2nd Annual Marianna Brady, PhD. Scholarship Program. This program is open to children and grandchildren of Associa employees. Students enrolled, or preparing to enroll, in a post-secondary institution in the Fall were invited to apply for $2,500 scholarships that can be used at their choice of university, community college, trade school, or life skills program. Applicants were anonymously evaluated based on academic records, extracurricular activities, work history, community involvement, and teacher recommendations. Using these metrics, the top 11 applicants throughout the United States and Canada were selected as recipients.
The 2022 class of Marianna Brady scholars represents a well-balanced mix of high school and university students across seven U.S. states and one Canadian providence. They are pursuing, or plan to pursue, degrees in a diverse range of fields, such as Communications, Dermatology, Forensic Psychology, and Kinesiology, among others. Outside the classroom, applicants participated in a wide range of athletic and community outreach activities. Many volunteered with groups such as Young Life, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, and various youth camps and related organizations.
The Marianna Brady, PhD. Scholarship Program was established in 2021. Associa founder and CEO John Carona created it in memory of his mentor and close friend, Dr. Marianna Brady, a career educator and principal who strongly promoted the importance of education.
