    Carter Marohn-Johnson Memorial Scholarship

  • About the Scholarship: This scholarship honors the memory of Carter Marohn-Johnson, who was a sophomore at North Point High School when he died on January 8, 2019. Carter possessed a unique perspective on life, and was not interested in following paths simply because they were the most traveled. Carter had enrolled in the Collision Repair program at North Point because he was interested in learning a skill that he could use as soon as he finished high school. He wanted to put those skills to work after graduation, and begin to create his own online business in his free time. Ultimately, Carter wanted to work for himself, live simply, and travel to new places.

    Purpose: In the spirit of Carter's unique plans, we want to help other Charles County students pursue their dreams after high school graduation - to reach new heights as they pursue their artistic, entrepreneurial, career, trade school, or college dreams.

    Award: Individual scholarships will be awarded ranging from $500-$2,000 each in May 2026. 

    Qualifications: Interested applicants must meet the following criteria to qualify for this award:

    - Graduating senior from Charles County Public Schools in the Class of 2026;

    - Complete a narrative essay, video submission, or a visual portfolio of no more than 1,000 words (essay) or no longer than four minutes (video) sharing what you plan to do after high school and how this scholarship would help make those post-graduation dreams a reality.
