Congratulations to MHS senior Jeremy Murray who was awarded a four-year NROTC scholarship for $180,000. Jeremy plans on attending college and joining the Marine Corps! Out of 23,000 who start the application process, only 1,500 are awarded nationwide. From there, less than 300 students choose the option to be a Marine.
While he hasn’t made a final decision yet, Jeremy plans to attend the University of Minnesota or Duke University. Throughout his college career, he will attend training each summer in different areas across the country, attend officer candidate school in Virginia and graduate as second lieutenant. Congratulations for receiving such a well-deserved scholarship! #SpudPride
