He is a participant in PEF\u2019s Gateway Scholars, a pioneering mentorship program that pairs high school students from seven target schools (Brainerd, Central, East Ridge, Hixson, The Howard School, Red Bank and Tyner Academy) with college advancement mentors who support the students to and through college success. These mentors provide tailored services to students as they transition to college and throughout the first year, promoting self-advocacy, a growth mindset, and academic, social and emotional learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that I am a recipient of the PEF Empowerment Book Scholarship, I can focus more on my education,\u201d Barr said. \u201cThis scholarship will serve as a reminder of my support network and an inspiration as I continue with my studies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barr said his \u201cgiving back to the community\u201d mindset is a value instilled in him by his parents. He regularly volunteers with The Nehemiah Project, a local organization providing school supplies for low-income children, and Second Missionary Baptist Church. In addition to pursuing his accounting degree, he works at Delta Airlines as a ramp agent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael is smart and well-rounded,\u201d said Anne Choyce, Barr\u2019s PEF college advancement mentor from PEF. \u201cHe\u2019s engaged in his community, hard-working in his job and driven to succeed at school. It\u2019s been a joy to watch him figure out how to succeed in college and make the adjustments he needs to make to reach his goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freeman, who began his tenure as UT Martin chancellor in August 2023, served on the PEF board from 2018 to 2023. Upon concluding his five years of service to PEF\u2019s board, his commitment to student success inspired the creation of the Empowerment Book Scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>The scholarship aims to alleviate the financial burden of textbooks and educational supplies, particularly for students whose costs pose a significant obstacle to post-secondary success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so honored that this scholarship inclusively supports rising young professionals like Michael Barr to help him realize his incredible potential,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cHe will go far, and I\u2019m glad this scholarship can support his journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/enrollment-management-and-student-affairs\/admissions\/visit\">Visit UTC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/apply\">How to apply<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pefchattanooga.org\/\">Public Education Foundation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Tennessee at Chattanooga sophomore Michael Barr is the recipient of the Public Education Foundation\u2019s Empowerment Book Scholarship for his community involvement and unwavering commitment to his academic success.
