students posing in a line

For the first time in the history of Farmington High school, three seniors have been honored with endowed fellowships at the University of Arkansas. Grace Kahre, Adyson Vanzant, and Kaylee White, distinguished for their academic achievements, leadership, and community involvement, were announced as recipients of these prestigious awards.

The University of Arkansas Endowed Fellowships are some of the most competitive in the nation and are awarded to the top 1-2 % of students who demonstrate exceptional promise and potential. Less than 100 students are awarded Fellowships from the University of Arkansas each year.

The endowed fellowships awarded to Grace, Adyson, and Kaylee not only acknowledge their past achievements but also provide them with unparalleled opportunities to further their education and pursue their aspirations at the University of Arkansas. Each student will receive an $80,000 scholarship from the University of Arkansas. With access to resources, mentorship, and a vibrant academic community, these three students are poised to make meaningful contributions to their respective fields and communities.

Principal Jon Purifoy expressed immense pride in the accomplishments of Grace, Adyson, and Kaylee, stating, "What an awesome testament to these parents who raised such intelligent and motivated young people, teachers who poured their heart and soul into ensuring students are educated and successful, and students for being determined to learn and further their education!"

Congratulations to Grace Kahre, Adyson Vanzant, and Kaylee White!
