Demetrius Mack Pay It Forward Memorial Scholarship

"I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always made me try harder the next time.” – Michael Jordan

Giving back helps foster the spirit, growth, and resilience of all communities.

When you find ways to support your community, you contribute to the virtuous cycle of giving that helps individuals and the entire community grow stronger.

To honor the life of Demetrius Mack and to help current students who go above and beyond for their community, the Demetrius Mack Pay it Forward Memorial Scholarship exists and will be awarded to two high school or undergraduate students in Atlanta, GA.

To apply for this scholarship, please write about what “paying it forward” means to you, as well as writing about someone who has inspired you to give back to your community.
