Salem High School junior, Brooklyn Davisson, daughter of J Davisson, has been awarded the Carson Scholars $1000 scholarship. The Carson Scholars Fund awards scholarships to students who excel academically and are dedicated to serving their communities. Scholarship winners receive the honor of being named “Carson Scholars” and are awarded an Olympic-sized medal and a trophy for their school to celebrate their accomplishments.
Students must attend an accredited K-12 school in the United States. An interested student must be nominated by an educator at his or her school to be able to compete for a Carson Scholarship. Only one student from each school is able to apply, ensuring that each nominee epitomizes academic excellence. Carson Scholars must have a minimum GPA of 3.75 and display humanitarian qualities through community service. Scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement and humanitarian qualities, without regard to financial need, ethnicity, creed or religion. The Carson Scholars Fund said, "Brooklyn Davisson was chosen because she demonstrated the highest standards of academic achievement, integrity, civic and social responsibility." Congratulations Brooklyn!
