20 - GOVERNOR'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS

The Governor's Scholarship Programs (GSP) rewarded public school students who demonstrated high academic achievement with scholarships. Students received a $1,000 Governor's Scholars Award if they had earned scores on certain standardized tests in the years 2000, 2001 or 2002 that placed them: (1) in the top five percent of public school students statewide in their grade, or (2) in the top ten percent of students within their comprehensive public school in their grade. Students could also have earned a supplemental $2,500 Governor's Distinguished Mathematics and Science Scholars Award when they attained specific scores on particular Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exams administered before December 31, 2002. GSP was made inoperative and repealed in fiscal year 2002-03; however, the ScholarShare Investment Board continues to administer 2000, 2001 and 2002 awards.
