Virginia Lyle has been selected to receive the Otis A. Singletary Scholarship from the University of Kentucky. The Singletary Scholarship is the most prestigious competitive scholarship open to incoming UK freshmen. It has stringent eligibility requirements as applicants must have at least a 33 on the ACT or a 1490 on the SAT as well as a 3.80 unweighted GPA to be considered for the award. The application also includes an essay, and applicants that pass the first round of screening are then interviewed as part of the final determination. Of more than 5,000 incoming applicants, Lyle was one of only 25 students to be awarded the Singletary Scholarship.
