Jenna Lindrose chosen for Mercy Presidential Scholarship


GJHS Senior Jenna Lindrose will be attending Mount Aloysius College in the fall of 2011 to study radiology and ultrasonography. And thanks to her hard work and involvement while at GJHS, she will do so with the help of the Mercy Presidential Scholarship, the most prestigious scholarship offered at Mount Aloysius College. As a recipient, Jenna has scored a minimum of a 1530 SAT score, has a minimum of a 3.3 QPA and wrote an essay highlighting justice, mercy, service, and hospitality- four values which are held as the most important by Mount Aloysius. As a candidate, Jenna is required to continue to demonstrate a solid academic record, and commitment to her home, school, and community. She must also exhibit leadership abilities, participation in extra-curricular activities, volunteer, and be involved in community service projects while attending the Mount.

Jenna had the honor of receiving the Mercy Presidential Scholarship at a banquet dinner on March 25, 2011. The Mercy Presidential Scholarship is offered to only 30 new first year students each fall. It is worth a total of $40,000, averaging $10,000 each academic year for a 4-year bachelor degree.
