Andover teen wins scholarship
Yashvi Gosalia, a senior at Andover High School, received a prestigious scholarship only given to eight Massachusetts students a year in honor of 19th century naturalist and author, Henry David Thoreau.
The Henry David Thoreau Scholarship is a $20,000, four-year scholarship awarded to eight students graduating from public or private high schools in Massachusetts. High school seniors awarded the scholarship can enroll in any college or university in the world while they major or minor in an environmentally related field. Thoreau Scholars are encouraged to enroll in internships or study abroad to broaden their awareness and understanding of environmental issues.
