Sussex Academy students awarded academic honors
GEORGETOWN — Several Sussex Academy students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs.
These programs grant underrepresented students recognition that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country.
Institutions and scholarship programs identify students awarded in the National African American, National Hispanic, National Indigenous and/or National Rural and Small Town recognition programs through College Board’s Student Search Service.
The following students were recognized: Adelle Leebel, Anshu Sharda, Brooke Farrell, Dylan Thomas, Jacqueline Thomas, Julia Rial, Leigha Truitt, Lilian Manlove, Megan Raines, Natalie Benz, Sarah Moreno and Zach Yenovkian.
“We’re thrilled that our students have earned this recognition. We are very proud of them for their achievements in their classrooms and on College Board assessments,” said Eric Anderson, head of school. “These programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during admissions.”
Eligible students have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more Advanced Placement exams; are African American or Black, Hispanic American, Latinx or Indigenous; and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
Students are invited to apply during their sophomore or junior years and are awarded at the beginning of the next school year. They receive their awards in time to include them on their college and scholarship applications.
“We want to honor the hard work of these students through the College Board National Recognition Programs. This program creates a way for colleges and scholarship programs to connect directly with the underrepresented students who they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, senior vice president of College Board’s BigFuture. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor, and it helps them plan for their big future.”
