Peachtree Corners Business Association Awards Scholarship to Sasha Tarassenko, Paul Duke HS

The Peachtree Corners Business Association (PCBA) awarded one of our two 2023 Scholarships to Sasha Tarassenko from Paul Duke High School at our recent May 2023 Business After Hours Speaker event. 

Sasha Tarassenko is planning on majoring in Sociology and Flute Performance with hopes of continuing her research on under representation in classical music education and industry at Yale University, sparked by the AP Capstone program at the Paul Duke STEM High School and her interest in the performing arts.  "I love making music with others.  With that small bit of cooperation between section leaders and members, you can make the most beautiful music the world has ever heard. These efforts taught me that new things do not happen with one person, it happens with the trust that others will support your leadership and work hard alongside you", shared Sasha Tarassenko.

“The PCBA Scholarship program is an integral part of our PCBA Community Outreach program.  We are so fortunate to be able to continue to invest in our future and have the opportunity to meet such an amazing young woman.  The PCBA has awarded 17 scholarships over the last 10 years, and I continue to be so impressed with these outstanding scholarship winners", stated Lisa Proctor, PCBA President.   

Funds for the PCBA Community Outreach program are raised throughout the year from PCBA membership, sponsorship, and our annual charity event.  Donations and scholarships are awarded at our monthly events so our members have the opportunity to learn more about these organizations.
