College Board honors Sussex Tech students with academic awards
Sussex Technical High School recently announced students who earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs.
These programs recognize underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications, and connect students with universities across the country, helping them stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service.
Congratulations go to Brad Sontay-Tzun, Laurel, National Hispanic Recognition Award; Garbrielle Oliphant, Laurel, National Rural and Small Town Award; Logan Black, Laurel, National Rural and Small Town Award; and Ndango Dinga, Seaford, National African American Recognition Award.
“We’re thrilled that our students have earned this recognition. We are proud of them for their achievements in their classrooms and on College Board assessments,“ said Dr. Matthew Donovan, Sussex Tech principal.
Eligible students must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; they can be African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
“We want to honor the hard work of these students through the College Board National Recognition Programs. This program creates a way for colleges and scholarship programs to connect directly with the underrepresented students they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of BigFuture. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor and it helps them plan for their big future.”
Sussex Technical High School is a public school that prepares Sussex County students in grades 9-12 for their future success in both higher education and workforce environments.
