Many Green, Metcalfe HS Juniors win $1,000 college scholarships Area High School Students among 536 high school juniors who are awarded Gear Up Kentucky $1,000 college scholarships, awarded Friday, March 16, 2012, at the Knicely Center, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY By Sue Patrick News from the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education Hundreds of high school juniors from across Kentucky earned $1,000 academic scholarships in the "Drive the Dream" program, sponsored by GEAR UP Kentucky and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority. Among the scholarship winners were several from Green County and Metcalfe County, KY: Green County, KY, Scholarship Winners: Brianna Armer, Lydia Bennett, Molly Frank, Leah Judd, Michael Matney, Olivia Parrott, Kelsey Rogers, Jai Scantland, Madison Sidebottom, Natasha Picket, Alissah Caldwell, Kar Fisher, Samuel Lowe, Evelyn Morgan, Raylen Walker, Eli Young, Chryslee Sherrill, Chelsey Cobb, Carrie Davis, Morgan Durrett, Heather Jessie, Shelby Karnes, William Marsh, Breanna Matney, Lauren Witty, Sydney Agee, Christina Collison, Breanna Givens, Hannah March, Thomas Penick, Katie Milby, Courtney Bryant, Rachel Marr, Amanda Perdue, Taylor Russell, Kaylee Boggs, James Jones, Austin Walley, Ezra Hickerson, Kyle Patterson, McKena Wright, and Hannah Shirley. Metcalfe County, KY, Scholarship Winners: Philip Keltner, Tayler McMurtrey, Aimee McMurtrey, Aimee Young, Megan Holley, Miranda Craft, Holly Corbin, Precious Marion, Deanna Riley, Judith Wilson, Rocky Bailey, Sarah Pedigo, Miranda Devore, Amanda York, Michael Garmon, Andrea Glass, and Holly Spradlin. A total of 536 students earned the scholarships and were recognized during a ceremony Friday at Western Kentucky University's Knicely Conference Center in Bowling Green. GEAR UP, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, works with Kentucky schools, colleges, business, communities, and non-profit organizations to mentor and improve the skills of middle school and high school students with the result of making them college and career ready. "These are among our best students, but it is a bittersweet moment for me, because this is the last in this series honoring scholarship winners," said Yvonne Lovell, executive director of GEAR UP Kentucky. "Today represents the culminating event for this GEAR UP program. Although this program is concluding, another will begin, serving a new group of more than 10,000 students across the state." To be eligible for the scholarship, students must have attended a school in the GEAR UP Kentucky program, participated in all the EXPLORE and PLAN assessments and reached the benchmark in at least two of the subject areas of the 2008 PLAN assessments. They also needed to maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average, and submit an essay and references. Students will receive the scholarships when they enroll in an accredited Kentucky college or university. Part of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, GEAR UP is a federally funded program that works with schools and families to create college-going cultures in communities where more than 50 percent of the enrolled students come from low-income backgrounds. GEAR UP Kentucky has sites hosted by partners in seven regions across Kentucky, including Fayette County, Hazard Community and Technical College, University of Louisville, Morehead State University, Murray State University, Northern Kentucky Council of Education partners and Western Kentucky University.
