This award honors Ms. Martin, an educator at West Forsyth High School who retired in 2022, for her impact on hundreds of young adults as they prepare for the next step in their educational journey. The award encourages interest in technology, business, and finding ways to serve the community. Applicants may be planning to attend either a two-year or four-year college. Preference is given to applicants planning for a degree in a business or a technology-related field, participating in volunteer activities that were personally meaningful and/or related to their career goal, and demonstrating an interest in applying technology in innovative ways.
