(AREA) — Jonah Haskins, a 10th grader from Marlette, has been awarded a $2,000 Michigan State University Pre-College Achievement Scholarship. Students in 8th-10th grades who attended an MSU summer pre-college program last year were eligible to apply for the award last fall. Jonah participated in Michigan 4-H Exploration Days, one of six pre-college programs offered by MSU Extension 4-H Youth Development. The scholarship recipient is selected based on academic ability and potential, demonstration of extra-curricular and community service experience, demonstration of leadership and teamwork skills, ability to overcome obstacles, teacher and program director nominations and a student essay. The scholarship is applied toward the student’s first year at MSU.
