Syosset Student Named National Hispanic Scholar

Congratulations to Syosset High School senior Brian Schultheis, who was recently named a National Hispanic Scholar in the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program.

Brian scored in the top 2.5 percent among Hispanic/Latino students in the region on the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Additionally, he had to complete an extensive application for evaluation by the College Board.

Participation in the NHRP enables Hispanic/Latino students to further highlight their outstanding accomplishments to leading colleges and universities. In a survey of last year’s National Hispanic Scholars, 91 percent indicated that they felt recognition made them more competitive candidates for these schools.
