Clark Prep Students Receive Scholarships to Summer Programs

Four Clark Prep students will receive full scholarships to attend the Southeast’s No. 1 high school media-learning program, the Louisiana Scholastic Journalism Institute’s (LSJI). Sponsored by the LSU Manship School of communication, this intensive one-week summer training program for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, works to provide students with the skills needed to produce scholastic media. Our very own Clark Prep students will learn how to produce newspapers, broadcast and yearbooks, building skills in writing, editing, design, videography, photography, multimedia production, and social media. In addition to having access to Manship’s production facilities, students will work closely with college faculty and media professionals.

This is an incredible opportunity for Clark Prep students Nelson Powell, Marshante Collins, Henrietta London, and Semaj Davis to develop strong journalism skills and get their first taste of the college experience.

Additionally, four Clark Prep students received scholarships to attend LSU’s MathCircle. The LSU MathCircle is a three-week summer enrichment program designed to cover topics in math that are not taught at the high school level. Students will learn about topics such as: graph theory, number theory, fractals, geometric construction, and mathematical modeling.

A big congratulations to Sada Jones for receiving a $2,500 scholarship, covering the full cost of tuition for the LSU MathCircle summer program. Three other students received $1000 and $500 scholarships.

We are extremely proud of these scholars who are working hard to create their legacy.
