Megan Sawant Named 2024 Virginia School Boards Association Exhibitors Scholarship Recipient

Megan Sawant, a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, is one of two students to receive the 2024 Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) Exhibitors Scholarship at the VSBA Annual Convention, held last month in Colonial Williamsburg. This $1,000 scholarship recognizes graduating seniors who have made an impact by serving as student school board representatives on their local school boards. 

Sawant is the 2024-25 student representative to the FCPS School Board and began her one-year term on July 1. She participates in School Board meetings as a nonvoting member. 

Recipients are selected based on the VSBA Exhibitors Scholarship Committee’s assessment of the applicant’s academic achievement, character, school and community service, and career goals.

VSBA is a nonpartisan organization of Virginia school boards and promotes excellence in public education through advocacy, training, and services.
