August 31, 2022 at 6:47 p.m.
Union County High School students have earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition programs. These national recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service.
“We’re thrilled that Mackenzie Hunter and Skylar Legear, members of the Class of 2024, have earned recognition by their selection for the National Rural and Small Town Award. We are very proud of them for their achievements in their classrooms and on college board assessments,” said Shannon Hill, AP English Language and Composition teacher. “Students who earn these awards are in the top 10% of their categories in the nation. These recognition programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during admissions; therefore, we proudly encourage Mackenzie and Skylar to add this achievement to their academic resumés.”
Students who may be eligible 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 AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
Eligible students will be invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year and will be awarded at the beginning of the next school year. Students will 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 underrepresented students whom they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of BigFuture. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor and it helps them plan for their big future.”
