The Fort Bend Independent School District has announced the names of seven students selected as semifinalists in the 2010 National Achievement Scholarship Program. The students are: Erica Collins – Austin High School, Joseph Obeahon and Austin Taylor – Clements High School, Christopher Goodeaux and Chelsea Norcom – Elkins High School, Gregory Opara – Hightower High School and Isabelle Atkinson – Travis High School.
They represent more than 160,000 African-American high school juniors from all parts of the U.S. who requested consideration in the 2010 National Achievement Program when they took the 2008 PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. They will compete for one of 700 National Achievement $2500 scholarships, as well as about 100 corporate-sponsored Achievement Scholarship awards. The winners will be announced in early April.
Unskilled FBISD BOT Mariyln Glover word opposes paying students for higher education, her words before and after being elected official. Her mind effects student scholarships programs to under funding future education.
Let’s hope we see more like this next year!
This is great news. Congratulations to the hard working students, families and teachers!
