Meet PSAI Scholarship Winner Carson Edwards

Each year when the PSAI awards its five scholarships, the merit scores are based on basic criteria
such as GPA, ACT or SAT score, and the ability to pen a well - written essay on the importance of
portable sanitation. However, each of our winners also bring an impressive list of extracurriculars
and credentials to the table. Carso n Edwards exemplifies this perfectly.

Cameron, is the owner of Rent - A - John. Carson is a rising freshman at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte. In high school, Carson was President of the National Honor Society, as well
as the President and Founder of the Spikeball Club. He was also a member of Beta Club, Student
Council, National Tech Honor Society, and Latin Club, while also participating in Varsity Tra ck and
Cross Country. To add to his impressive resumé, Carson ran his own lawn maintenance business
before working for the National League of Junior Cotillions. He has also held a sales and
marketing role for Atlantic Coast Insurance. In addition to all of this, he has worked alongside his
father as an office and field worker for Rent - A - John.
