Mohamed Sambou, a senior at TEC High School, has been awarded the Act Six scholarship to attend Gonzaga University. Mohamed was one of just 19 students from the Puget Sound area chosen to participate in an on-campus experience. From that group, ten were awarded scholarships.

Two other Highline students have made it to the "Decision" phase with Act Six:  Hodo Hussein of Highline High School who has received a scholarship to Pacific Lutheran University, and Devanta Black of Highline High School who received a scholarship to Gonzaga.

These scholarship awards are full-need scholarships with a minimum award of full tuition cost. 

Over the next nine months these three students will be attending leadership training sessions every week and attending special leadership retreats and conferences throughout the summer. When they attend college, they will be engaged in leadership activities on campus.  Act Six invests heavily in students and the students who accept this scholarship program are making a great commitment of their time and energy over the next four years.

Act Six is a leadership and scholarship program that connects students from urban high schools to faith-based colleges. For more information on Act Six, visit their website at: http://washington.actsix.org/
