On Monday May 5, 2008 Rebecca Dixon was awarded a $1500.00 adult student scholarship from the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities, Inc. Adult student scholarships are designed to provide the opportunity for adults to attend college and make a positive difference in the lives of their families. Ms. Dixon received her Bachelor's degree from Devry University in Technical Management and Human Resources and is currently working on her Master's degree in Public Administration. She is a full time student and works a full time job. Additionally, Ms. Dixon volunteers at the Boy's and Girl's Club and is a voter registration volunteer. Not only is Ms. Dixon a role model for her own children who are learning the value of an education through her achievements, but she is a role model for her community as well.
