SHINNSTON, W.Va. — Lincoln High School’s Ashton Fulton has earned a spot at one of the most prestigious universities in the world — Harvard University — along with more than $375,000 in scholarships and grants.
Fulton, a standout student known for his academic excellence and leadership, was accepted into Harvard’s Class of 2029. The Ivy League institution receives more than 50,000 applications each year and accepts fewer than 3% of those students, placing Ashton among the most accomplished young scholars in the world.
His successful application included seven essays that highlighted his exceptional academic performance, top-tier standardized test scores, extensive extracurricular involvement, and leadership roles throughout his high school career.
Fulton plans to major in Physical and Chemical Biology, with a long-term goal of attending medical school and becoming a neurologist.
“We are incredibly proud of Ashton and all that he has achieved,” school officials wrote on social media. “His drive, intellect and ambition have set him apart, and we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next.”
