Kirsten Nichols, an Arundel High School senior, has received the Crosby Marketing & Media Studies Scholarship. The $5,000 award is given each year through Scholarships for Scholars to a high school senior who has displayed the attributes and academic rigor necessary to excel in the fields of marketing or media. Nichols will be attending the University of Maryland this fall.
“Kirsten’s academic, athletic and personal accomplishments are impressive, and we are thrilled that she is receiving this scholarship,” said Ralph Crosby, Founder and Chairman of Crosby Marketing. “She is an outstanding young lady who has the drive and talent to be successful in her chosen career.”
Already a writer for her school’s newspaper and a local magazine, Nichols dreams of a journalism career to “tell the stories of everyday people who overcome challenging circumstances with unwavering positivity, hope and determination.” In her own life, she has dealt with debilitating medical conditions from a young age, overcoming them with self-discipline, hard work and resilience. Nichols is also a two-year Vice President of the National Honor Society, Captain of Cross Country Track and a leading distance runner for the Indoor and Outdoor Track teams.
