Purpose:
A lasting legacy to our lovely, talented, intelligent daughter and friend. We love you Carol.
The Carol Phan Memorial College Scholarship is not an ordinary scholarship given by some corporation.
We loved Carol, and Carol’s mom gives the money every year for this scholarship.
As such, your application must show the judges (and us) your passion and creativity at a level of effort that communicates to us that you will value being awarded this scholarship.
We don’t award the scholarship then forget about you. You become part of the “scholarship family” and we try to stay in touch during college and long after graduation……as such, we hope that you will blog twice in four years: Once to let future college students know about your first semester experiences, and lastly after graduation.
Scholarship Amount:
We award one $1,500 Carol Phan College Scholarship per year to a deserving Tracy High student.
Scholarship Submission:
Theme:
What is your Passion?
To Submit an Application:
You must have a total weighted 3.5 GPA, or above, and have been accepted, or applied, to a 4 year college or university.
The judging is based on:
–> Does your Passion show in your submission?
–> Effort / Quality of your submission
–> Creativity of your submission
OPTIONAL and NEW for 2024 in collaboration with Inyoung (2014) and Yash (2018):
ForCarol welcomes the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your college scholarship submission….
If you use AI, it would be interesting if you tell us what AI you used, what guidance you used to get the AI to write / draw / design what you needed, and, where in your submission you used it.
ALSO if you used AI:
It would be interesting if you wrote a short opinion on AI and how you think AI will impact your future field of interest.
Here is an “example” submission using AI.
Think outside the box, be creative, go wild…..make a video or a short movie, draw your passion, sing your poem, embrace AI, show us the solution to a sticky math problem, design some cool software, write a funny resume, write fiction…..in short……use your imagination!
