Molino Student Awarded National Merit Scholarship

June 1, 2016

A Molino student was named today as a winner of a National Merit Scholarship.

Colby C. Gilley, a 2016 graduate of Trinitas Christian School in Pensacola, was awarded the National Merit Washington and Lee University Scholarship.

Washington and Lee is a private college for men and women devoted primarily to the liberal arts and sciences. Rich in heritage, its steady purpose is to remain one of the nation’s great teaching colleges; it encourages close association between an exceptional faculty and a talented, highly motivated student body–emphasizing the individual’s honor, integrity, and personal and social responsibility.

Gilley is undecided on his future career field.

Jessica Amerson of Walnut Hill was awarded a National Merit scholarship to the University of Alabama. Click here for a previous story.
