JC honors near $1 million (5/13/03)
Seniors pick up scholarships, honors
JC honors near $1 million (5/13/03)
Several Jay County High School seniors are one step closer to graduation and a lot closer to finding a way to pay for college.
In addition to a host of awards, JCHS students were presented with just under $1 million in scholarships Monday night during Senior Honors Night in the auditorium.
Parents and students were all smiles as students made their way back and forth from the podium to their seats at the back of the stage. By the conclusion of the evening — as The Portland Foundation was awarding its 65 scholarships — many students had multiple medals clicking around their necks and little room to hold any more certificates.
At times the award recipients crowded the stage, as many students received some of evening’s high honors. Sixty-six students received Academic Honors Diplomas, with another 66 students named to the National Honor Society. The Honors Section, for students with a grade point average of 3.7 or above, consisted of 29 students.
The community scholarships totaled $72,506, with another $215,000 coming in Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships and $124,870 in scholarships awarded by The Portland Foundation.
Students were offered more than $727,000 in scholarships from colleges and universities in 2003, and currently $547,440 of that money has been accepted. More of that money will be accepted before students make their way to a college campus in the fall. But some scholarship offers will go unused, as several students had offers from multiple colleges.
The following is a complete list of the honors presented Monday evening:

Parents and students were all smiles as students made their way back and forth from the podium to their seats at the back of the stage. By the conclusion of the evening — as The Portland Foundation was awarding its 65 scholarships — many students had multiple medals clicking around their necks and little room to hold any more certificates.

Sixty-six students received Academic Honors Diplomas, with another 66 students named to the National Honor Society. The Honors Section, for students with a grade point average of 3.7 or above, consisted of 29 students.
