Carothers Scholarship Endowment

The Carothers Scholarship Endowment will provide tuition assistance to a student who would like to attend Greater Atlanta Christian School. The priority will be given to the child of a U.S. service member, law enforcement officer, or first responder who has been killed or wounded in the line of duty.

Honoring a Legacy of Service

This endowment is named in honor of Patrick Carothers, a beloved GAC parent and veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service. His life exemplified courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to protecting others. Naming this endowment after Pat Carothers and the Carothers family is a fitting tribute to their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to both faith and country.
