Announcing Three amg college scholarship opportunities:

Association Management Group believes that education plays a pivotal role in propelling our community toward progress. We recognize the significance of investing in our community, particularly in the younger generation, as they represent our future.

To fulfill this commitment, AMG took the initiative several years ago to establish a scholarship program. This program serves a dual purpose: honoring exceptional individuals who are no longer with us and providing assistance to young individuals as they embark on their educational pursuits. We firmly believe that supporting these individuals in their educational journey is a meaningful way to contribute to the betterment of our community.

All scholarships are 100% funded by AMG, not community association fees or assessments.

Scholarships to Honor Community Members:

To help share our ideas of community with the next generation, AMG is proud to announce a set of scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each, beginning with the 2026/2027 school year. These scholarships honor the memory of individuals who made a difference in the lives of others:

Ron Erickson Scholarship

Ron was a financial planning professional, a big-hearted mentor, and a true friend to many. Ron's dedication to public service and helping others was world class. He was a role model to all who knew him.

Corey Flynt Scholarship

Corey was the son of AMG’s President Dacy Cavicchia and brother to both AMG’s Charlotte Director of Operations, Danielle Rudisill and Special Projects Coordinator, Cassie Kutay-Dadressan. Education held a significant place in Corey's life, and in the face of challenges and obstacles, he displayed unwavering determination, persistently striving to achieve his objectives.

The “People’s Choice” Scholarship, In Honor of AMG Employees

The “People's Choice” Scholarship encourages applicants to reach out to friends, family, and community members to like and share their videos on AMG’s Facebook page. This scholarship fosters community engagement and support, amplifying the voices of participants and highlighting shared values while celebrating individual creativity and showcasing diverse perspectives.

Below are the amazing individuals whom we honor through this scholarship.

Billie Butler

Billie joined our AMG Charlotte office in 1994. For more than 20 years, Billie used her nurturing skills to assist AMG staff members and provide exemplary customer service to AMG community members. She was a kind soul who was loved and respected by all.

Rea Tinsley

Rea was a cherished member of our AMG family for 16 years and was Director of Operations in Greenville. Tragically, she passed away in March 2022 after bravely fighting cancer. She was an extraordinary individual and a remarkable co-worker, known for her exceptional kindness and gentle nature. Rea's absence is deeply felt, and her memory will forever remain a cherished and integral part of our AMG family.

Tommy Badgett

Tommy, who sadly passed away in January 2021, started his journey with AMG in 1994 as a dedicated repairman. Throughout the years, he skillfully grew in his responsibilities, eventually becoming a certified pool operator before his retirement in 2015. Tommy was a valued and long-serving member of the AMG team, a genuinely compassionate individual, and an irreplaceable friend.

You are eligible to apply for these annually awarded scholarships if you are:

  •   An employee of AMG or their child or grandchild.

  • A resident of a community managed by AMG or their child or grandchild.

  •   A vendor of an AMG-managed community or their child or grandchild.

 

These scholarships can be used for any North or South Carolina public college/university. (This includes vocational programs and community colleges. Non-public or non-Carolina institutions may be considered on a case-by-case basis, so others are still encouraged to apply.)

This year, the selection of scholarship recipients will involve submitting a 1–2 minute video that delves into the concept of community and its significance.

Scholarship Judging Process

At Association Management Group (AMG), we are committed to providing a fair, objective, and meaningful scholarship selection process.

Eligibility Review

Before judging begins, each application is reviewed to ensure it meets all program eligibility requirements, including submission deadlines, enrollment requirements, and completion of all required application materials.

Only eligible applications advance to the judging phase.

Committee Evaluation

Eligible video submissions are evaluated by the AMG Scholarship Committee using a standardized scoring rubric. Committee members independently review each submission to ensure every applicant is evaluated fairly and consistently.

Our committee is composed of a diverse group of individuals, which may include AMG team members, community association leaders, and industry professionals who bring a variety of perspectives to the evaluation process.

Evaluation Criteria

Each video is evaluated on several key areas, including:

  • Understanding and interpretation of the scholarship theme

  • Creativity and originality

  • Quality of content and organization

  • Communication and presentation skills

  • Overall impact of the message

Each criterion is assigned a point value as part of the official scoring rubric. Scores from all judges are combined to determine the final rankings.

Selection of Scholarship Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected based on their final cumulative scores. The applicants with the highest overall scores are awarded the committee selected scholarships.

In the event of a tie, the Scholarship Committee may conduct an additional review to determine the final recipient.

People's Choice Scholarship

The People's Choice Scholarship is selected separately from the committee judged scholarships.

Eligible videos are published on AMG's official Facebook page during the designated voting period. Each "Like" received directly on AMG's Facebook post counts as one vote. Likes on shared posts or other platforms do not count toward the final total.

The video with the highest number of eligible Facebook Likes at the close of voting will be named the People's Choice Scholarship recipient.

  • The voting period will be active from July 9 - July 20, 2026.

the 2025/2026 Scholarship winners:

For the third year in a row, AMG invited scholarship applicants to submit videos sharing what community means to them. Once again, these submissions were heartfelt, insightful, and truly one-of-a-kind. Our applicants beautifully reflected the diversity of our client communities across the Carolinas and highlighted the deep care and commitment local young adults have for the places they call home. We’re incredibly proud of every student who participated!

Our Commitment to Fairness

At AMG, we believe every applicant deserves an equal opportunity to be considered. To maintain the integrity of our scholarship program, all eligible submissions are evaluated using the same scoring rubric by multiple judges. Each submission is reviewed independently, and final scholarship recipients are determined based on cumulative scores rather than the opinion of a single judge. This process helps ensure consistency, fairness, and transparency throughout the selection process.
