Johns Creek Biz Association Awards Scholarships

Two lucky Johns Creek students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship, courtesy of the Johns Creek Business Association.

The group will award the money to Johns Creek High's Jennifer Lucas and Northview's Eric Beppler at their monthly meeting on Tuesday at Osaka Steak and Sushi. Funds for the scholarships were raised at the JCBA’s annual golf tournament. 

Lucas is a graduate of Johns Creek High School and plans to attend the University of Georgia, where she will major in biology. While at Johns Creek, she was a member of the varsity track team, JV Competition Cheerleading, yearbook staff, Indian Cultural Exchange Club and the National Honor Society. Her long-term career goal is to become a doctor. 

Beppler is a graduate of Northview and plans on attending North Carolina State University, where he will major in engineering. While at Northview, his activities included symphonic band, varsity cross country, varsity track & field, Boy Scouts of America, Venture Scouts, class council, local school advisory council, Junior Civitans Club and Habitudes for Athletics. His long-term career goal is to develop more intuitive systems that can replicate or better human functions for those who cannot function on their own. 

The Johns Creek Business Association's Tuesday, July 16, meeting takes place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Osaka Steak & Sushi, 3630 Peachtree Parkway, in the Kohl's shopping center.
