We are proud to honor our two Gates Millenium Scholars from JefCoEd Schools this year. The value of this prize sponsored by Bill and Melinda Gates is worth $600,000. All undergraduate and graduate and any Phd the student wants to pursue in any school is provided free to each of the 1,000 winners. The scholarship includes room, board, travel, and miscellaneous expenses.
John Blanding plans to attend Auburn University and then law school and hopes to be an attorney and later appointed a federal judge. There were 52, 000 applicants and 1,000 fortunate winners nationwide.
Will Fuller wants to be a broadcast journalist with CNN and will attend Atlanta’s Clark University.
It is quite something and since the program’s inception in 2000, JefCoEd has had only six GMS scholars, including these two.
