Axel Yhoss, a senior at the Hope Collegiate Academy, has received the Arkansas Governor’s Distinguished Scholarship.
The Governor’s Distinguished Scholarship is the most academically rigorous scholarship program for graduating seniors in Arkansas. Yhoss is the second Hope Collegiate Academy student to receive this prestigious scholarship in the last three years.
“This scholarship means everything to me,” Yhoss said. “It shows me the results of the work and effort I’ve put in these past couple of years are worth it and helps me worry less about affording my education and career.”
To earn the scholarships, students must score either a minimum composite or superscore of 32 on the ACT or 1410 on the SAT and have a minimum 3.50 unweighted, cumulative high school grade point average. Only 64 students across 19 counties in south Arkansas received the scholarship, and Yhoss was the only student in Hempstead County who received it. The scholarship pays tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board up to $10,000 annually.
Yhoss credits the Hope Collegiate Academy with helping him achieve this honor. “The collegiate academy benefitted me by providing me with a wonderful support network, teaching me crucial academic skills, and challenging me to push forward. I would recommend the collegiate academy to others without a doubt! I believe anyone could benefit from the environment and support here and achieve greatness.”
After graduating this May with his high school diploma and associate of arts degree, Yhoss plans to transfer to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where he will major in computer science with a concentration in cybersecurity.
