Alva High School Student Awarded Prestigious National Honor Society Scholarship

Landry  Gaddy is one of 575 Semifinalists receiving a $3,200.00 NHS Scholarship.

The National Honor Society (NHS) announced that Landry Gaddy, High School Senior at Alva High School and member of the NHS, has been selected as an NHS Scholarship semifinalist.  Gaddy was chosen from more than 11,000 applicants and will receive a $3,200.00 scholarship award toward higher education.

For nearly 100 years, NHS members have been making a difference in their schools and communities and the NHS Scholarship is NASSP’s way of recognizing the most exceptional of these student leaders.  Recipients are chosen based on the demonstrated work to support the four pillars of NHS:  scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

This fall, Landry will attend NWOSU to study Biology: Health Sciences.

Since 1946, more that $15 million in scholarships has been awarded to outstanding NHS Senior members to support college access and student success.  The scholarship program is supported by the parent organization of NHS, the National Association of Secondary School Principals  (NASSP).
