The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has announced that four high school seniors from the Washoe County School District (WCSD) have been awarded college-sponsored scholarships for the 2015-2016 school year.
“These outstanding students are among the best of the best in our District,” said WCSD Chief School Performance Officer Dr. Paul LaMarca. “We are extremely proud of them, and we join with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in congratulating them and their families for this great accomplishment. We wish them all the best as they begin their college careers.”
The four students will receive annual awards ranging from $500 to $2,500 for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship.
