Ten high school seniors in Bloomington, Ind., have been named as finalists for the Lilly Endowment's Monroe County Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program.
Only two of the 10 will be awarded scholarships of up to $900 per year, which can be used for full tuition at any Indiana public or private nonprofit college or university, reports the Bloomington Herald-Times.
The students, who were interviewed last week, "have shown remarkable achievement while also demonstrating a commitment to community and service to others," says Tina Peterson, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County, in a press release.
The students are involved in more than 30 clubs and organizations, including Student Councils, Academic Super Bowl, Athletic Boards, National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, Model UN, Investment Club, Women Empowerment Club, Environmental Club, Diversity Club, and many more.
They have also been active in a variety of sports, including volleyball, softball, cross country, track and field, tennis, swimming, basketball, rock climbing, taekwondo, and ultimate frisbee.
The full list of this year's finalists is here.
