Indian Springs seniors to compete for national scholarships

Three Indian Springs School seniors have been named semifinalists in the 50th annual National Achievement Scholarship Program recognizing academically promising Black American high school students nationwide.

Kenechi Ijemere, Annabelle Neville and Angela Robinson will have the opportunity to compete for about 800 Achievement Scholarship awards worth $2.5 million next spring. About 80 percent of semifinalists are expected to be chosen as finalists, and more than half of finalists will win an Achievement Scholarship award. Conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, the National Achievement Scholarship Program was started in 1964.

“Kenechi, Angela, and Annabelle are dedicated students, and we believe this recognition is a testament both to their outstanding abilities and to their great potential,” Indian Springs School Director Gareth Vaughan said. “They ask much of themselves, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for these bright young people.”
