As the school year comes to a close, individual students and chapters have received a flurry of awards and grants.
Junior Summer Study Awards
Three members of NEHS, all juniors, have each received $500 Summer Study Awards to support learning activities in which they will be engaged in the coming months. Winners are: Michael Omole from City of Pembroke Pines Charter High School (FL) who will be leading a debate mentorship program in Nigeria; Christina Wang from Milton High School (GA) who will be attending the Kenyon Young Writers’ Workshop; and Alejandro Rodriguez from Edinburg High School (TX) who will be attending the University of Notre Dame’s Summer Scholars program in Identity and Popular Culture.

The Upper Darby Libraries received $500 and the chapter $100.
