The 12 high school students have completed one or more semesters of dual enrollment coursework at Shelton State and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Shelton State says its Dual Enrollment Student Ambassadors will serve as role models for new, current, and prospective students, while also supporting recruitment and enrollment efforts for the College by serving as liaisons between Shelton State and their current high school.

If the students selected for the one-year ambassador program choose to attend Shelton Stat Community College after graduating from high school, they will be eligible for a Shelton State Ambassador scholarship should they choose to attend the College upon high school graduation.

“We are overjoyed with our new Ambassadors and grateful to have such high-achieving and personable students serving in this role,” Shelton State Director of Dual Enrollment Beverly Foster said. “The Ambassadors have already begun work at their high schools by promoting the dual program and assisting students with questions.”

The following high school students were selected for the program:

• Kathryn “Elliot” Armstrong - Hillcrest High School
• Madelyn Barr - Northridge High School
• Addison Burgett - Tuscaloosa County High School
• Amaya Cairl - Greensboro High School
