Jordan Perrine, a senior at Hackettstown High School, is one of only 104 high school students nationwide to have been chosen as a Horatio Alger National Scholar.
Perrine will receive a $20,000 scholarship to help fund his college education from the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans. He was chosen from over 40,000 applicants across the United States, and is one of only 3 National Scholars from New Jersey.
Each student will be honored at the Horatio Alger Awards ceremony in Washington D.C., April 6-9. During the four-day event the scholars will attend college preparation sessions, listen to esteemed speakers, participate in ceremonies at the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Department of State and DAR Constitution Hall, and meet with the 2011 Horatio Alger Award recipients, which will include actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Mayor Michael Bloomberg as just two of the twelve recipients being recognized for their success stories.
