CHS seniors earn $7M in scholarships

More than 60 Carson High School seniors were recognized May 18 for collectively earning more than $7 million in scholarships. Their accomplishments were celebrated in an awards ceremony at the Carson City Community Center.

The students applied to nearly 500 scholarships. CHS Principal Bob Chambers noted the total amount of scholarships will continue to rise as graduation draws closer as many applications have been extended.

“I’m confident that the class of 2023 is prepared to tackle challenges with aplomb,” Chambers said. “Why am I so confident? We have many of our top minds going to a Tier 1 Carnegie Research 1, Division 1 school and studying engineering, computer science and education. What’s even more impressive is this prestigious school is in our backyard, the University of Nevada, Reno. We have students with full ride scholarships to USC, students planning on attending the University of San Diego, Washington State, University of Colorado, Boulder, BYU and students chasing their athletic dreams at the next level. CHS has been blessed with exceptionally talented and intelligent young adults.”

Scholarships were presented for more than two hours by contributing organizations and representatives.
