Highland students finalists for scholarships

Posted

Highland Senior Charlie Aicher has been selected as a Hagan Scholarship finalist.

The Hagan Scholarship is a nationwide scholarship designed to help high-achieving students from small towns and rural areas graduate college debt-free. Recipients must: a) graduate from a public high school located in a county having fewer than 50,000 residents, or b) graduate from a remote rural school located in a county having more than 50,000 residents.

Hagan Scholars from 43 states are currently enrolled at 358 colleges and universities. Five hundred more scholarships will be awarded in April 2021.

The scholarship provides up to $48,000 over four years to attend college. Recipients must enroll at an eligible four-year not-for-profit college or university the first semester following high school graduation.

Highland student Kayla Cerny is also looking toward a prestigious scholarship. She is among a group of high school seniors who have an opportunity to compete for a Special Scholarship administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corportation (NMSC). Candidates are selected based on their scores on the 2019 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
