Katherine Rodgers of Fayetteville, Ga., a graduate of Woodward Academy in College Park, has accepted a Founders Scholarship and enrolled as a member of the class of 2010 at Agnes Scott College, an independent national liberal arts and sciences college for women founded in 1889.

“Our first objective is to interest and enroll students with strong records of achievement and aptitude,” said Stephanie Balmer, associate vice president for enrollment management and dean of admission. “Katherine’s work in class, extracurriculars and the community is evident.”

This Founders Scholarship totals $80,000 over four years. Those selected to be Founders Scholars have excelled in the classroom and in leadership, character and personal achievement. Overall, they have achieved high marks in their GPA, class standing and SAT I or ACT standardized assessment exams.

In addition, Founder Scholars have demonstrated balanced extracurricular experience, which suggests they will contribute to life at the college. Academics are important, but Agnes Scott students are encouraged to explore interests outside the classroom. Contributing factors are leadership, athletics and community service projects.

Rodgers is the daughter of Gina Rodgers of Fayetteville.
