of the 6,000 scholarships. Last year Elizabeth Oliver received a National Merit Scholarship from Virginia Tech.
Clarkson University, a small private school, specializes in training engineers, scientists and business managers. Mr. Kilpatrick’s scholarship will be for $500. The university is also offering him a Clarkson University Merit Scholarship worth $2,000. These scholarships will be renewed if he keeps a 3.25 grade point average.
During his high school years Mr. Kilpatrick played varsity soccer, played trumpet in the Pep Band and concert band, and was a member of the Pop Quiz team. He played the detective in two high school plays. He has served as senior class treasurer this year.
He was also active in Boy Scouts, earning the rank of Life Scout. He served as assistant senior patrol leader and was a member of the Shenandoah Area Council’s jamboree troop at the 1989 Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill.
A member of Trinity Episcopal Church, Mr. Kilpatrick takes his turn serving as lector or acolyte during church services. During the summer he works with the grounds crew at the South Wales Golf Club.
Mr. Kilpatrick plans to major in aeronautical engineering with perhaps a second major in mechanical engineering.
“I’m eager to get on with the rest of my life and very grateful for help from these scholarships,” he said.
