P.E.O. International has awarded a $2,500 STAR Scholarship to Makayla Hendrick. Hendrick, who will graduate from Marco Island Academy this month, was sponsored for the competitive, merit-based award by P.E.O.'s Marco Island Chapter. She is among 1,000 high-performing senior high-school girls to win a 2024 STAR Scholarship from a pool of more than 2,100 applicants throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Hendrick will attend the University of Florida and plans to become a nurse practitioner with a focus on pediatric neurology.
STAR Scholars are young women with outstanding academic records, engagement in community service and extracurricular activities, and a high likelihood of future success. Hendrick, a top academic performer at MIA, built an impressive record as president of the school's Key Club, leading it to a "top seven" ranking among Florida's 380 Key Clubs and winning a statewide "top five" designation among Key Club presidents.
P.E.O. Int'l supports women pursuing higher education with scholarships, grants, awards and low-cost loans.
