It has been a banner year so far for CHS seniors earning scholarships! Kaymin Hester won this year’s $50,000 Emily Couric Leadership Scholarship. Karen Bernadino-Zamora, Jakia Maupin, and Pray Meh won the inaugural Allen Scholarship, $10,000 a year for four years for CHS seniors who will be first-gen college students. Full scholarships have been earned by three students of whom we are currently aware: Asadullah Faqirzada, who relocated to Charlottesville from Afghanistan, earned a Questbridge Scholarship to Boston College, and Abby Brissett and Lucas Fuller have earned Posse Scholarships to Davidson and UVa, respectively. We will not announce all scholarships in this newsletter, but CHS will honor seniors’ scholarships and awards at its annual senior recognition night on June 7. Congratulations to all!
