Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) has named the recipients of its 2008 Lexmark Academic Scholarship Program, which honors academic excellence among children of Lexmark U.S. employees. Scholarships were awarded to 20 high school seniors for the upcoming school year. More than 80 applicants from across the country competed.
Each student receives a $2,000 scholarship, renewable for up to four years over a five-year period.
Recipients were selected by the Blue Grass Community Foundation, which administers the program. Scholars were chosen on the basis of test scores, grade point average (GPA), high school achievement, leadership qualities, extracurricular activities and the recommendations of high school administrators. The average ACT score for this year’s recipients was 32, the average SAT score was 1365 and the average weighted GPA was 4.4.
”We are pleased to offer this benefit to our employees and their children,” said Jeri L. Isbell, Lexmark vice president of human resources. “Educational excellence is a major focus of Lexmark’s charitable giving program. We applaud the dedication and academic achievements of these high school scholars.”
