A perfect place to pursue design<\/h5>\n
\n

When Cindi Young toured the Dunwoody campus in 2015, she knew she had found the right college for her. Three years later \u2013 Young is still convinced. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the third oldest of nine siblings, the dream of attending Dunwoody might not have been possible without the Youth Career Awareness Program (YCAP) scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Young was one of 28 students selected for the YCAP scholarship. The program is open to students who just finished their junior or senior year of high school. <\/span><\/p>\n

The scholarship program includes a summer camp experience that introduces students to technical careers and helps prepare them for the college experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding Dunwoody<\/h6>\n

Young is a 2018 graduate of the Academy for Sciences & Agriculture (AFSA) High School and is enrolled in the Graphic Design program at Dunwoody.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI took a tour and I fell in love,\u201d Young said about her decision to attend Dunwoody. \u201cI knew this was going to be my school because I never felt that way when I toured other colleges.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The small class sizes and hands-on approach were also key deciding factors for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

The summer program began on June 11, and Young said it has been helpful to explore all of the different Dunwoody program areas and get to know some of her fellow students. <\/span><\/p>\n

Looking to the future<\/strong><\/h6>\n

As a student who has always sought out leadership opportunities, Young said she also appreciated the leadership component to the YCAP program. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI will definitely be getting involved with different clubs and activities at Dunwoody,\u201d Young said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m looking forward to meeting new people.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to participating in hands-on activities on campus, the YCAP students also spend time visiting businesses and industry partners to get a feel for what it will be like to work in different fields. <\/span><\/p>\n

Young is already looking ahead to her future career and hopes to start off as a graphic designer and work her way up to becoming an art director. <\/span><\/p>\n

But in the meantime, Young is excited to start the fall semester at Dunwoody and take the next step in her education. <\/span><\/p>\n
