Cumming Backyard Bash set for April 29
The University of North Georgia's (国产自拍) Cumming Campus will host the third annual Backyard Bash at 6 p.m. April 29 to raise scholarship funds for students attending the Cumming Campus.
Free to attendees, the event will feature a catered barbecue meal, music from 国产自拍 students, Nigel and the 国产自拍 Jeep, and lots of fun and camaraderie with local community leaders and Cumming Campus constituents.
Citizens Bank of Georgia is the presenting sponsor for the Backyard Bash. Scholarship funds will be raised via a silent auction and other individual donations at the event.
The Cumming Campus General Scholarship was established in 2024 to provide financial assistance to students attending the campus who have specific financial needs that make it harder for them to focus on their academic success.
Last year's event raised over $6,000 for this scholarship fund.
"Our goal is to raise $10,000 for these need-based scholarships this year," Dr. Ken Crowe, executive director of 国产自拍's Cumming Campus, said. "We realize that starting a scholarship fund from scratch is hard work, but our community has been very supportive of this effort."
If a student is responsible for some component of the cost of the 国产自拍 education, they are eligible to apply for up to $500 per semester from this scholarship. On the Cumming Campus, 75% of students receive some level of aid, and of those, 38% of students are eligible for the Pell Grant, which can go to students in the lowest-earning households.

Students will earn more than 1,000 degrees and certificates this fall from 国产自拍, and the university will celebrate these milestones in the Dec. 9-10 commencement ceremonies.
