The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has announced that Daniel Lee of Pacific Horizons School is among 70 high school seniors, from across the nation who have been awarded the Cooke College Scholarship.
The Cooke College Scholarship, which is last-dollar funding after all institutional aid, provides Scholars with up to $55,000 per year to pursue a bachelor’s degree at any accredited undergraduate institution.
This award aims to help students who have demonstrated exceptional academic ability, leadership, and persistence avoid student debt.
“As we celebrate 25 years of work as a Foundation, we are proud to expand our commitment by supporting 70 students this year,” said Seppy Basili, Executive Director of the Cooke Foundation. “This increase reflects not only the quality of applications we received, but also our response to the growing financial barriers facing talented students with financial need.”
In addition to substantial financial support, Cooke Scholars receive comprehensive academic coaching, graduate school and career advising, opportunities for internships and study abroad, and access to a vibrant network of fellow Scholars and Alumni. Scholars are also eligible to apply for graduate school funding after completing their undergraduate degrees.
Lee has also been accepted to the Military Academy at West Point.
