Members of the Class of 2020 explored and pursued admission to a wide variety of colleges and universities. Members of the senior class will attend 35 unique colleges in the United States and the United Kingdom. In addition to traditionally popular schools such as Texas Christian University, the University of Mississippi, The University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and the University of Alabama, seniors were admitted to such diverse schools as Villanova University in Pennsylvania, Middlebury College in Vermont, Purdue University in Indiana, and Columbia University and New York University in New York, to name a few.
This year’s seniors were awarded more than $8 million in scholarships over four years, with 59 percent of the class earning merit scholarship awards. Sixty-seven of these scholarship offers are worth $50,000 or more, and 17 of these offers are worth $100,000 or more. They also received 52 offers of acceptance to Honors programs at 31 different schools.
With the help of our dedicated college counseling team and school administrators, our seniors have made thoughtful and informed decisions about which colleges will best serve their individual interests and talents.
We look forward to seeing where their journeys take them from here!
