Shahbaz Malik Memorial Scholarship

Shahbaz Malik joined North Oconee High School as a freshman in 2010. He was to begin his senior year at the time of his sudden passing on August 2nd, 2013. Shahbaz was a valued member of the NOHS family, and his death is a tough reminder of the fragility of life. Shahbaz will be remembered for his sharp wit, sense of humor, intelligence and genuineness.

Shahbaz's family has established a $3000 scholarship in their son's name to recognize a NOHS SENIOR with potential to excel and make a positive contribution to society.

The Shahbaz Malik Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student for use in the pursuit of a post-secondary education. It will be based upon the following criteria: 1) academic achievement (evidence- school transcript and test scores), 2) demonstrated financial need (evidence- self-reported financial information), 3) a well-defined set of future goals (essay) and 4) a description of character (evidence- recommendation letters).

Only complete applications, turned in by the due date and time of March 27, 2015, 4 pm will be reviewed for this scholarship. Remember that the overall presentation of your application is a reflection of you. The winner will be selected by an independent reviewing committee and the identity of applicants will not be revealed to them.
