ALJ Senior Receives Prestigious Scholarship

Submitted by Christine Casale Broski

Matthew Hartzler, Arthur L. Johnson High School Senior, recently earned a merit scholarship with a value of $30,000 per year through the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Medal Program. The Rensselaer scholarship is awarded to outstanding math and science students.

According to Rensselaer, a university based in Troy, New York, the medal was first presented in 1916 with two purposes: to recognize the superlative academic achievement of young men and women, and to motivate students toward careers in science, engineering, and technology.

School Counselor Molly Cusick stated, “Matt is a very hard-working student that always looks to take on new challenges, both academically and personally. He is very deserving of this honor, and I look forward to helping him make his college decision in the Fall.”
