Gold Crown Computer Clubhouse Member
Awarded $5,000College Scholarship

Gold Crown Computer Clubhouse is pleased to announce that Brittany David has been chosen to receive a 2009 Clubhouse to College (C2C) Scholarship from the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network. The C2C Scholarships are intended to provide resources to selected Computer Clubhouse members or alumni as they transition to post high school education. A key component of the Clubhouse program is C2C, which encourages Clubhouse youth to pursue studies beyond high school and realize their full potential.

The Clubhouse Network received applications from youth in 20 Clubhouses located in eight different countries around the globe. Brittany David was awarded the scholarship based on her commitment to the Clubhouse, community involvement, academic achievements and future goals. Essays and recommendations submitted on behalf of the recipient also detailed her leadership in the Computer Clubhouse and dedication to the Clubhouse program. Brittany described her experiences in the Clubhouse and opportunities that the program has brought her. Activities such as peer mentoring, the development of college and career preparation skills, and projects collaborating with members from around the world through “The Village,” the Clubhouse Network’s Intranet Site -- as well as face-to-face participation at the Computer Clubhouse Network’s bi-annul Teen Summit -- are among the many highlights shared.

With funding from the Intel Foundation, C2C Scholarships are intended to provide the resources to selected Computer Clubhouse members or alumni to support their transition to post high school education. The Intel Foundation has generously committed $600,000 to the C2C Scholarship program over the next 5 years, which allows the Network to provide greater financial support and expand the number of scholarships to members and alumni who are pursuing secondary education.
