Congratulations to Sara Oberle<\/strong> for being selected as a 2021 Carson Scholar!\u00a0 This is a prestigious national level award.\u00a0 Participating schools are allowed to nominate only one person each year.\u00a0 To qualify, students must have an overall GPA of 3.75 or higher and participate in meaningful and sustained community service.\u00a0 With her honor, Sara will receive a $1000 scholarship, an Olympic-sized medal, and have her name placed on a trophy which will remain in Caddo Magnet’s front office.<\/p>\n

From the Carson Scholar website (www.carsonscholars.org):<\/p>\n

The Carson Scholars Fund, Inc. was founded in 1994 to address the education crisis in the United States.\u00a0 When now retired world-renowned Johns Hopkins Pediatric Neurosurgeon Benjamin S. Carson, M.D. and his wife, Candy, read a research study about education in the United States, they were alarmed by the findings.\u00a0 The study showed that our nation\u2019s students ranked #21 out of 22 countries; next to the bottom of the list in science and math.\u00a0 Furthermore, the Carsons observed that many school display cases were filled with large trophies paying tribute to their sport teams\u2019 achievements, while honor students only received a pin or certificate.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. and Mrs. Carson felt compelled to take action.\u00a0 They believed that if children could be taught early to excel, they would stay motivated and have a higher chance of educational success later in life.\u00a0 The Carson Scholars Fund was built on these principles.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1996, the first year that scholarships were awarded, 25 deserving students were recognized as scholars.\u00a0 Through the generosity of our donors and partners, we are now able to award more than 500 scholarships annually.\u00a0 In total, we have awarded more than 10,000 scholarships across the country.\u00a0 More than 3,500 Carson Scholars have been recognized for their academic and humanitarian achievements in multiple years.\u00a0 Scholarship winners have attended more than 780 colleges and universities, and have received more than $7.6 million in scholarship funds to help finance their education.<\/em><\/p>\n
