Garcia, Sales Named National Hispanic Scholars
- Updated: December 1, 2014
Los Fresnos High School seniors Brianna Garcia and Jordan Sales have been named 2014-15 National Hispanic Recognition Scholars by The College Board.
The two students are among about 5,000 of the highest-scoring students from more than 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT.
The College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) identifies academically outstanding Hispanic/Latino high school students.
Garcia and Sales are among the top 10 academic students in the LFHS Class of 2015.
To be eligible, students must take the PSAT/NMSQT in October of their junior year in high school, be of at least one-quarter Hispanic/Latino descent, achieve the minimum required PSAT/NMSQT cutoff score, and achieve a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher by the end of junior year.
A National Hispanic Scholars recognition traditionally increases the possibility of additional scholarships for students receiving the honor.
