Christian Jackson Scholarship
Creative Change Counseling, Inc. is dedicating six scholarships in honor of a young man who God called home, Christian Jackson. this scholarship is in honor of Christian because of a single incident - we forgot to bring a football to our annual Olympic Day community park event. After realizing that we didn not bring a football to the community park event, Christian reminded us, and even reprimanded us, that "It's Your Responsibility" to make sure they had what was needed to have fun. He was right! it is our responsibility to meet the needs of the individuals, families, and communities we serve.

WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO BE, IT'S DELICIOUS!
Winning scholarships can be sweet - especially with this special a la mode award for scholarship seekers who love ice cream.
Are you simple and sweet like vanilla, classic yet unpredictable like chocolate chip, or a little nutty like pistachio? Whatever the flavor or reasons may be, we want to know what ice cream flavor best reflects your personality and why.
July is National Ice Cream Month, and we need a little help picking out a "Flavor of the Month" for our famous ice cream scholarship. Tell us all about your ice cream flavor, and you could scoop up a sweet $1,500 scholarship.
Applicants must:
Must be 14 years of age or older at time of application.| Must be a legal U.S. resident.| Must be a resident of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.| This award is for U.S. students.
Submit an online written response to the question:
"Summer and ice cream go hand-in-hand. In fact, July is National Ice Cream Month, and that's the inspiration behind this award. We think people are very similar to ice cream; some are nutty, others a little exotic, while some are very comforting. If you were an ice cream flavor, which would you be and why?" (250 words or less)
The Flavor of the Month Scholarship winner will be notified by email or phone on or around October 31st.
