I got a call from Ashlyn's AP Computer Science teacher yesterday telling me that she had won a big scholarship. This Amazon scholarship had over 3,000 applicants of AP Computer Science students. Ashlyn applied in January. She was one of the 100 winners chosen around the country! This scholarship will provide $10,000 per year to college, for four years, as well as a paid internship at Amazon headquarters in Seattle the summer after her freshman year. We are thrilled for her! We had to keep it a secret from her. The school was sent the box from Amazon with her award letter. The administration and some of her friends were waiting for her after school so she could open her box. Amazon wanted a copy of the video along with a "winner" video to post on their website on April 1st when the winners would be announced. Here are a few pics and her video from the day! Congratulations Ashlyn!!
