CENTRAL STUDENT QUALIFIES FOR NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP

Erica Ware, a senior at Cape Girardeau Central High School, has been named a commended student in the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Negro Students.

She is among nearly 3,400 participants who scored in the top 6 percent of more than 90,000 black students who requested consideration in the 1994 Achievement Program when they took the 1994 test for the National Merit Scholarship program.

The Achievement Program is a privately financed activity in which only black Americans may participate.

Students being commended have shown academic promise, but they will not continue in the competition for Achievement Scholarships to be awarded in 1994.
