Stanton Graduate named Duval County's Academic Top Scholar
JACKSONVILLE - The Florida Office of Student Financial Assistance identified Rojan Varghese, a 2008 Stanton College Preparatory graduate, as Duval County’s 2008-2009 Bright Futures Academic Top Scholar (ATS).
“It is an honor for a Duval County public school graduate to receive this prestigious award,” said Ed Pratt-Dannals, Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools. “Rojan’s success proves that we are fulfilling our vision of our students graduating with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in post-secondary education.”
Rojan, now a freshman at the University of South Florida, was ranked based on his Bright Futures GPA (calculated on the 15 required college preparatory credits) and his best composite SAT/ACT score as reported for his Florida Academic Scholars (FAS) award eligibility.
In addition to the FAS award, Rojan will be given a fixed annual amount of $1,500, prorated by term and hours (excluding summer term). Florida Academic Top Scholars are being notified of their awards by the Florida Department of Education.
