Academic champ — Amanda
June 2007
Amanda, a high school freshman and teen in Global Village Therapeutic Foster Care North, won a $2,500 Challenge U Scholarship sponsored by General Mills Foundation. The college scholarships are awarded to students who face significant life challenges, yet continue to demonstrate progress toward their academic goals. Amanda has a 96 average and wants to become a nurse. To commemorate the award, her photo was imprinted on a Wheaties box.
