\"photo<\/a>North Hunterdon High School junior Aasha Page of Union Township has been selected as a New Jersey Governor\u2019s School Scholar for the 38th<\/sup> New Jersey Governor\u2019s School in the Sciences to be held at Drew University from July 10-30, 2022.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the three-week period, Miss Page will participate in a comprehensive, challenging and intensive college-level program with other science and math scholars from around the state. Students are nominated by their high schools for this prestigious program, which only accepts about 20% of nominees each year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so very grateful to the faculty at North Hunterdon for nominating me for the opportunity and I am excited for so many aspects of the Governor\u2019s School. I am most excited to conduct college level research and to be able to collaborate with other impact driven students who share a similar passion to make a difference through science,\u201d said Miss Page.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Governor\u2019s School in the Sciences website (https:\/\/drew.edu\/governors-school\/about-us\/about\/<\/a>), in addition to having an interest in the sciences, to be nominated a student must have primarily \u201cA\u201d grades in honors math and science classes, and should rank at least in the 90th percentile on any standardized tests he or she has taken. High ability in mathematics must be demonstrated by strong scores in the PSAT\/SAT examination. In other words, students should have demonstrated by their achievements that they can hold their own in interactions with the most \u201cacademically talented\u201d students.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud of Aasha\u2019s selection to this prestigious program. She is a high achieving student who our science department was proud to nominate as a Governor\u2019s Scholar. We know this is just the beginning of her academic accolades,\u201d said Dr. Greg Cottrell, Principal of North Hunterdon High School.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Governor\u2019s School in the Sciences (NJGSS) began in 1983 and has several objectives. The first is to broaden the scholars\u2019 appreciation and knowledge of science through exposure to a range of scientific topics and scientists. The subject of career exploration and choice is woven throughout the program. The second objective is to introduce scientific research to the scholars via hands-on research experience in a student\u2019s area of interest. Resources from New Jersey\u2019s industrial, governmental, and academic science establishments are used.<\/p>\n
