ACC's Sixth Annual Golf Outing on June 4 to support academic scholarships |
| News Details : |
The Arab American & Chaldean Council (ACC) will host the Sixth Annual Golf Outing & Scholarship Awards Dinner, benefiting the ACC Scholarship Awards Program on Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at West Bloomfield's Shenandoah Country Club, located at 5600 Walnut Lake Road.
Registration is at 10 a.m. and golfers are set to tee off 11:15 a.m. followed by cocktails and the awards dinner, where graduates will receive scholarships. ACC hopes to ensure the academic success of the deserving students. Scholarships help attract and retain intelligent and capable, but financially disadvantaged students. Many students may find it difficult to continue their education following high school graduation. It's not the good grades they lack, but money. Who knew that a game of golf would be beneficial for college-bound high school graduates?
"ACC encourages youth to pursue higher education and this event is aimed at raising money for students who not only prove the ability to garner outstanding grades, but show that they're willing and eager to improve themselves through education," said Abe Munfakh, ACC's Chairman of the Board.
In the last 10 years Michigan's university tuition rates has risen by more than 67 percent, while state funding has risen by about 12 percent, according to the Senate Fiscal Agency. With an ongoing budget problem and stagnant economy, the state has cut public university funding by about $250 million over the last four years. Because of the budget cut and increased tuition rates, financing a diploma will be a challenge and the option of loans may land many thousands of dollars in debt.
