Twenty U-46 college-bound seniors from the class of 2021 were awarded a $1,000 Superintendent's Scholarship this May.
In addition to having strong academic backgrounds and being leaders in their schools, these students will all be the first generation in their family to attend college. By going to college, the students feel they are carving pathways, not just for themselves, but for their whole family.
"These recipients are among our most motivated students," said U-46 Superintendent Tony Sanders. "We have seen them face numerous challenges, both at school and at home, and they have repeatedly demonstrated the inner strength and perseverance to come out ahead. I have no doubt that they have bright futures ahead of them."
