FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1999
A reception for the 1999 Mann Scholar winners Sebastian Cork, Cherokee Middle School, and Pamela Chareun, Wright Middle School, will be held Wednesday, May 19, 5 p. m. at Christ Presbyterian Church, 944 E. Gorham.
The Mann Scholars are primarily children of color, selected on the basis of financial need, academic promise, motivation and the willingness of their families to encourage participation in enrichment activities. The Scholars are nominated by their teachers and counselors and selected in eighth grade. Mann scholars receive up to $1,000 per year in high school.
The scholarship is the result of the Mann Educational Opportunity Endowment, honoring the late Bernard and Kathlyn Mann. The Manns raised five children -- all of whom graduated from Madison public schools. This is the third year the two annual Mann scholarships have been awarded.
