Lily Aspen '23 Recognized by College Board

Lily Aspen ‘23 has earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. Lily, a senior at Ranney School, was awarded the National Indigenous Award.
 
“We’re thrilled that Lily has earned this recognition,” said Head of Upper School and Assistant Head of School Dr. Greg Martin. “We are very proud of her achievements in the classroom and on College Board assessments. These programs help students from underrepresented backgrounds stand out to colleges during admissions.”
 
“It is a privilege to be honored by the College Board for this award,” said Lily. “It’s truly important that we as a society recognize hardworking students from underrepresented minorities. I plan to use this honor to uplift other Indigenous students.”
 
Students who may be eligible have a GPA of 3.5 or higher and have excelled on the PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10, or earned a score of 3 or higher on two or more AP Exams; and are African American or Black, Hispanic American or Latinx, Indigenous, and/or attend school in a rural area or small town.
 
Eligible students will be invited to apply during their sophomore or junior year and will be awarded at the beginning of the next school year. Students will receive their awards in time to include them on their college and scholarship applications.
 
“We want to honor the hard work of these students through the College Board National Recognition Programs. This program creates a way for colleges and scholarship programs to connect directly with underrepresented students who they are hoping to reach,” said Tarlin Ray, College Board senior vice president of BigFuture. “We hope the award winners and their families celebrate this prestigious honor and it helps them plan for their big future.”
 
These National Recognition Programs grant underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications and connect students with universities across the country, helping them meaningfully connect to colleges and stand out during the admissions process. Colleges and scholarship programs identify students awarded National African American, Hispanic, Indigenous and/or Rural/Small Town Recognition through College Board’s Student Search Service.
