Marian Court to Award 3 Scholarships to Graduates of Peabody Learning Academy

Marian Court College is pleased to announce that it will award one scholarship for up to fifty percent of one year’s tuition and fees, and two scholarships of $2,500 each to qualifying graduates of the newly established Peabody Learning Academy, an alternative high school housed in an annex of the North Shore Mall in Peabody, MA. The Academy, which opened on Monday, October 18, 2010, and is currently serving 19 students, was opened by Simon Property Group's Simon Youth Foundation, a public charity that has opened other schools for at-risk students throughout the country. 

“We are thrilled to be able to offer these scholarships in honor of the Inaugural Year of the Peabody Learning Academy, as well as Simon Youth Foundation’s commitment to transforming lives of at-risk youth,” said Gretchen Manning, Vice President of Marian Court College.  “The work that Simon Property General Manager Mark Whitening and Simon Youth Foundation Executive Director Dr. Richard Markoff have done for the students of Peabody will make a difference for generations to come.  We are happy that Marian Court College can contribute to this partnership,” said Manning.
