Student Callistus Ditah receives prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship
Normandale student Callistus Ditah has been awarded the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. He was among 30 scholars chosen from a pool of 485 nationwide and will be awarded a stipend to help cover his expenses upon transferring to a four-year college."When I applied for the scholarship I knew it was kind of a long shot, but I figured I don't have anything to lose," said Callistus.
Callistus was one of two Normandale students nominated by the faculty to be considered for the scholarship. "I wish I could stay here for two more years. I'll always be attached to Normandale," said Callistus.
Jack Kent Cooke Scholars are selected based on outstanding records of achievement, not only academically, but also in service, leadership and community involvement. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is a private, independent foundation established to help young people of exceptional promise reach their full potential through education.
