Division Avenue Student Wins Prestigious Scholarship

From Levittown Public Schools: Division Avenue High School junior Sabrina Manos was recently presented with the Rensselaer Medal Award for academic excellence in math and science. The award, provided by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, grants Manos with a $25,000 per year college scholarship, guaranteed for four years if she chooses to enroll at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It can also be extended into a fifth year for graduate school.

After graduation, Manos plans to major in math, setting her sights on a PhD. Her passion for math is already evident in her involvement at the high school where she is the treasurer of mathletes and a Math Honor Society member. In addition, Manos participates in Music Honor Society, chamber orchestra, and is president of Division’s robotics club.

“It feels so great that all of my work has paid off and that I can go to the school of my dreams,” she said.
