HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS
Congratulations Naisha Chopra
Senior Naisha Chopra has been offered full scholarships to 3 prestigious college programs. She has been offered the Stamps President’s Scholarship from Georgia Tech, which represents less than 0.5% of the first-year applicant pool of 70,000 applicants. She has been accepted into the Olin Distinguished Scholars Program at Washington University, St. Louis. Only 10 students are selected each year, and WashU has a record-low acceptance rate of 9%. She has also been awarded the Stamps Eminence Scholarship at the Ohio State University, which is offered to fewer than 50 students out of over 80,000 applicants. The future is bright. We are so proud of you, Naisha!
