Over more than a decade, the university has recognized more than 1,300 students from high schools in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware who demonstrated leadership within their communities. The program recognized 137 students on Wednesday, March 20 from high schools throughout the region for their abilities to stand up for what they believe in, speak out on behalf of others and make an impact in their communities. Ethan Scott, from Daniel Boone Area High School, has made a difference by serving as an exceptional student leader, expanding opportunities for the Blazer Ambassadors group and fostering a unified and inclusive school environment. "For the 13th consecutive year, Widener University is delighted to honor outstanding student leaders from across our region with the High School Leadership Award," said Stacey Robertson, president of Widener University. "This year, we are excited to acknowledge this outstanding group of young people who have demonstrated a commitment to their communities through acts of leadership and caring. Widener is distinctive because of our inclusive culture where students belong and can thrive as their authentic selves. I salute these 137 award winners for demonstrating courage, tenacity and leadership while exhibiting the same drive reflected in Widener's principles. We congratulate them!" Winners were invited to the in-person program March 20 with their families and school administrators at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia's historic district. In addition to being recognized as young leaders in the region, if students enroll at Widener as undergraduates, they will take part in the university's prestigious Apogee Leadership Scholars program and receive a $20,000 scholarship over four years. Apogee Scholars also take part in four years of leadership programming and earn a Widener Leadership Certificate. "NBC10 and Telemundo62 take great pride in our ongoing partnership with Widener University as we join hands for another year to celebrate the accomplished recipients of this esteemed award," said Ric Harris, President and General Manager of NBC10, Telemundo62 and NBC Sports Philadelphia.
