Collin County Teen Court Scholarship Fund and Awards Reception

(McKinney, TX) -- In an effort to recognize the student volunteers who have made teen court possible for the past year, Collin County will be hosting a Teen Court Volunteer Appreciation and Awards Reception on May 29, 2009. A significant part of this event is honoring the graduating seniors who have significantly impacted the program by presenting them with scholarships that will go towards their college education.

This fund is now available to accept donations to provide scholarships to very deserving young men and women. All donors will be formally acknowledged on the awards reception program.
