Ashleigh Iserman Community Involvement Scholarship

The Ashleigh Iserman Community Involvement Scholarship commemorates a lovely young lady, who enjoyed life to the fullest, was passionate about her community, and was concerned about injustice to people.

The purpose of this scholarship is to uphold community involvement and commitment to diversity by choosing a student who is impassioned by the social issues of the day and is dedicated to acting upon their ideas to build a better community. This scholarship is to honor Ashleigh Iserman, a committed member of the Rochester Auburn Hills Teen Council and a dedicated citizen to the Rochester Hills area.

The teen council would like to honor Ashleigh by presenting this scholarship to a teen who exemplifies Ashleigh’s ideals. This person meets the criteria by being involved in the community, working and studying, achieving high grades, standing up for their convictions and promoting a healthy diversified community.

This scholarship is solely funded by the teen council. In the past we have

given away five scholarships to teens in the community totaling $4500.

This year we plan to fund an additional scholarship of $1000.

Applications must be postmarked by May 16^th, 2008.
