Three South Forsyth High School seniors will attend Georgia College and State University next fall thanks to top scholarships they have earned. The students were selected out of 101 invited to attend the President’s Scholarship Competition, the university’s annual scholarship event for prospective first-year students.
After a day of group interviews and individual interviews with faculty, staff, and current students, Laura Cavalenes was one of three students to receive the top award, the Trustee Scholarship. This award is for $24,000 over her four years ($6,000 per year) on top of her Zell Miller Scholarship. It also includes a study abroad stipend to be used whenever she decides to sign up for a trip, admission to the Honor’s Program, and a space in Bell Hall, GCSU's residence hall with the best location immediately next door to the academic buildings, library, dining hall, and across the street from downtown Milledgeville.
Matt Patterson and Kendyl Lewis were two of four to receive the Presidential Scholarship. This award is for $16,000 over their four years ($4,000 per year) on top of their Zell Miller Scholarship, plus a study abroad stipend, Honor’s Program acceptance and a spot in Bell Hall for each of them.
This means that not only did SFHS have three seniors awarded out of the 101 who competed, but these three seniors interviewed in the top seven.
