Four CPSD students earn Act Six Scholarships

February 10, 2014 By Clover Park School District

Four Clover Park School District seniors have earned Act Six Scholarships. The Act Six Leadership and Scholarship Initiative is the Northwest’s only full-tuition, full-need scholarship for emerging urban and community leaders who want to use their college education to make a difference on campus and in their communities at home. According to Act Six, the students were selected through a rigorous three-month competition among more than 900 applicants. They were chosen for their distinctive leadership, academic potential and commitment to making a difference in their communities.

Elexia Johnson, Harrison Preparatory School – Plans to attend Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma and major in business. Johnson hopes to be a role model for at-risk students.
