News: Loudoun Valley Football/Track and Field Captain Robert Jackson Wins Gates Millennium Scholarship

Special to VivaLoudoun.com
Purcellville (May 14, 2010) - Robert Jackson, a senior at Loudoun Valley High School, has become the fourth Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) student to win a Gates Millennium Scholarship.

Offered through the United Negro College Fund, the Gates Millennium Scholarship originated in 1999 through a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Thus far, 13,000 students have been awarded this scholarship, which pays for a student's complete college education. Nationwide, 1,000 students were awarded the Gates Millennium Scholarship this year.

Jackson's scholarship will pay his $56,000-per-year tuition to Georgetown University.
