Congratulations are in order as MACS Senior, Lateef Jenkins, was selected as one of 750 Scholars chosen from a pool of over 61,000 students to receive The Gates Scholarship.
The Gates Scholarship (TGS) is a highly selective, last-dollar scholarship for outstanding high school seniors from low-income households. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to exceptional student leaders, with the intent of helping them realize their maximum potential.
Scholars will receive funding for the full cost of attendance that is not already covered by other financial aid and the Student Aid Index, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or the methodology used by a Scholar’s college or university.
Please join us in congratulating Lateef on his exemplary achievement and as he continues his education at Villanova University in Fall 2026!
