Administered by CERRA-South Carolina, the Program provides fellowships for up to 200 students each year (actual number determined by funding from the General Assembly). These students participate in enrichment programs at a Teaching Fellows Institution, engage in professional development and leadership opportunities, partner with communities and businesses, and receive up to a $6,000 fellowship annually for four years as long as they are in the process of completing a degree leading to teacher certification and meet the criteria to continue in the program. A Fellow must agree to teach in a South Carolina public school one year for each year he/she receives funding.

Any student who is a legal resident of South Carolina (DACA students are not eligible for Teaching Fellows) and a current high school senior, or junior graduating early, who will be attending college as a freshman in the fall of 2019 may apply. Fellowships are based on academic achievement, references, community and school involvement, an interview and a writing assessment. Students must attend one of the ten Teaching Fellows Institutions. Currently, these include Anderson University, Charleston Southern University, Coastal Carolina University, College of Charleston, Francis Marion University, Lander University, USC Aiken, USC Columbia, USC Upstate, and Winthrop University.

Six Seniors Named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists

Scholars B-T: Isak Jatoi, Gillian Patton, Shubbanjali Minhas, Elizabeth Dillon, Kristina Trifonova and Paul Dubberly 

Richland School District Two students have been named semifinalists in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship (NMSC) program.

Spring Valley High School seniors Isak Jatoi, Gillian Patton, Shubbanjali Minhas, Elizabeth Dillon, Kristina Trifonova and Paul Dubberly are among the approximately 16,000 semifinalists announced today by NMSC.

These academically talented high school students move on to compete for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth about $32 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and more than half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning a Merit Scholar title.

NMSC, a non-profit organization that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 420 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence. Congratulations Vikings!

Girls Golf
9/19

The Lady Vikings golf team traveled to Woodcreek Farms to take on Cardinal Newman and Heathwood Hall in a non-conference matchup yesterday.  Unfortunately, the course and the strength of the Cardinals top 3 were too much for the lady Vikings to overcome but were able to stay ahead of them. There were several birdies made on the day and a new season low by several lady Vikings.  Low medalist for the first time this season was sophomore Millie Spivey with her season-low round.
Other lady Vikings contributing to the overall team score were: Madeline Kay, Maddie Webster, and Mary Freeman.

9/20

It was a beautiful afternoon as the Lady Vikings were back on their home course taking on their region rivals the Blythewood Bengals.  For the second match in a row, Millie Spivey surpassed her season-low score by 2 strokes to capture low medalist for the match.  Unfortunately, the solid playing by Millie Spivey and senior Madeline Kay was not enough to carry the Lady Vikings to victory.  Blythewood's team score of 195 tops Spring Valley's team score of 206.  Other Lady Vikings contributing to the team score were Maddie Webster and Millie Sox.  The Lady Vikings next match will be home on Tuesday, Sept 25th taking on the Sumter Gamecocks and the Cardinals of Cardinal Newman.

Football
9/19

The JV football team defeated Lexington HS 24-14 this past Thursday night to run their record to 3-1 on the season. The offense was led by touchdowns from DeQuandre Smith, Danny Evans, Nehemiah Bell, and Christian Myers. The offensive line did a great job blocking led by Sean Sullivan, James Beard, Jeremiah Green, and Damanjot Jhaj, Hy-Kein Nahn and Ty Wise both had great catches. On defense, the Vikings were led by Kameron Mims, Danny Evans, Aaron Jones, Iverson Moore, Nicholas Solomon, and Kameron Terrell. Blayton Miller and Calvin Johnson both played well in the secondary.
The Vikings will be on the road next week at Irmo at 6:00.

9/20
