CELEBRATING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL ACADEMY SCHOLAR GRADUATES

SUPO celebrated the achievements of eight SVSU authorized charter school alumni who completed their degrees through the PSA Scholars Program with funding assistance through the School/University Partnership Office (SUPO) Cardinal Scholarship Program of $24,000 or more. These students have demonstrated resilience and determination, especially considering some began their college journey in the fall of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their ability to meet scholarship requirements and become leaders in their respective areas is commendable. We are so pleased to have been a part of their journeys.
