Corn, OKLA — The bags are packed. The truck is headed east. For the second year in a row the top CBA student is headed to Stillwater. Byron Detweiler, 2010 CBA valedictorian, has enrolled at Oklahoma State University as a pre-med student for the 2010 fall semester.
Blake Engelman, 2009 CBA valedictorian, also selected OSU a year ago to study mechanical engineering based on the availability of the degree program and recognition of academic excellence.
The two young men have more in common than earning valedictorian honors at CBA and the selection of OSU for their college education. Both students qualified for a scholarship as an Oklahoma Academic scholar.
This $5,500 annual scholarship is funded by the Oklahoma legislature and administered by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. To qualify for the scholarship the two students scored at or above the 99.5 % on the ACT exam. This translates to a score of 34 or better.
In addition both students received the distinguished Robert C. Byrd Scholarship which is designed to recognize exceptionally able high school seniors who show promise of continued excellence in postsecondary education. The program is federally funded and awards funds to state education agencies (SEAs), which make scholarship awards to eligible applicants. The average scholarship is $1,500 per year.
Students receive the scholarships for college expenses. Each of these two scholarships is renewable for four or five years if the required grade point average is maintained.
