Dear Scholarship Committee, I wholeheartedly recommend Maan Patel for the George B. Hightower Memorial Scholarship. As the Assistant Principal at Kennesaw Mountain High School, I enjoyed observing Maan's remarkable journey for four years. I can confidently say he embodies the qualities of an ideal scholarship candidate. Maan's academic prowess is truly exceptional. In High School, Maan consistently demonstrated academic excellence; he maintained a cumulative GPA of 4.643 while excelling in a rigorous curriculum that included 16 Advanced Placement and four Post AP courses. Maan Patel's dedication to his studies is evidenced by his impressive SAT score of 1430 and ACT score of 32. Maan's academic accomplishments had earned him the prestigious UGA Merit Award, placing him in the top 5% of his graduating class. These achievements not only reflect his intellectual capabilities but also his perseverance and commitment to excellence. Maan's passion for engineering is not just a hobby, it's a calling. This is evident through his internships, where he gained hands-on experience in both civil engineering and robotics. At STV Incorporated, he shadowed engineers and participated in projects that shaped his understanding of infrastructure design. Additionally, as a Robot Technician at Gozio Health, he managed maintenance operations for medical robots, applying his technical skills to solve real-world problems. This blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience makes Maan uniquely qualified for a career in engineering. Beyond his academic and professional pursuits, Maan is deeply committed to community service. In his four years at Kennesaw Mountain High, Maan contributed over 1,200 hours to various local events, including the Pig and Peaches Event and The Big Shanty Festival. His ability to coordinate and lead efforts behind the scenes demonstrates his selflessness and commitment to positively impacting our community. Maan was an active member of the KMHS Math Team and National Honor Society and a dedicated tennis team athlete, showcasing his versatility and team spirit. Maan's leadership style is not just about leading; it's about inspiring. It is characterized by humility and integrity. Maan inspired his peers to engage in community service and take on leadership roles, often guiding them without seeking personal recognition. Maan Patel's genuine desire to uplift those around him speaks volumes about his character and commitment to ethical leadership. In summary, Maan Patel is a remarkable young man whose academic achievements, dedication to engineering, community involvement, and ethical leadership make him an exceptional candidate for the George B. Hightower Memorial Scholarship. I am confident that he will continue to excel and represent your foundation with integrity and passion. Thank you for considering Maan for this opportunity.
