WSU Regents Scholarships Awarded to Nine 4-H Members
Hours of studying, civic engagement, and stellar academic performance paid off for nine 4-H’ers selected to become the next recipients of the WSU Regents Scholarships
The Regents Scholars program honors students based on the high grade point averages, SAT or ACT scores, community involvement and a letter of recommendation.
Recipient Megan Moberg from Walla Walla County was one of ten students from across the state to receive the Distinguished Regents Scholars award. She will receive full tuition and fees for four years.
“4-H has taught me so many life skills especially time management and prioritizing,” said Megan who plans on studying Bioengineering. “4-H was an important part of my college admissions and scholarship applications. All the many different things I have accomplished in 4-H helped show colleges and scholarship committees what kind of person I am and what is important to me in life,” added Megan.
Other 4-H’ers Regents Scholars are Olivia Barr, Skagit County; Christopher Bishop, Thurston County; Arianna Kemis, Snohomish, Lance Kidder, Island County; Danika Macomber, Lewis County; Patrick McCarthy, Clark; Emily Shumway, Whatcom County; and Gabrielle Zigarlick, Ferry County. All will receive $4,000 per academic year for four years.
The Regents Scholars Program allows high school educators and Native American tribal leaders the opportunity to recognize outstanding students for their hard work and accomplishments by nominating them for scholarships. The awards are subject to annual renewal requirements, a minimum 3.2 cumulative grade point average, and completion of at least 24 graded credits each year.
