While most high school students enjoy a relaxing day off from school on President's Day, a select few spent their President's Day interviewing for over $500,000 in Lake Erie College scholarship money.
Invitations to Lake Erie College's annual President's Day Scholarship Competition were limited to only 80 students that were accepted for admission for the Fall 2010 semester by January 1. Invitations covered 14 states - Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Utah, Colorado and California - and also Japan.
Despite amazing academic credentials (the candidate's average cumulative grade point average exceeded 4.0, with average ACT scores over 30 and average SAT scores of 1915) nerves were high. Luckily, our amazing Storm Guides and Student Ambassadors were hanging out in the hospitality room to share stories and give campus tours --- the cookies and other snacks also helped!
Award notifications will be mailed by March 1, 2010. Congratulations to ALL of our candidates - a job well done!
