Seton senior named Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship recipient
Tineta Nkoronye – who this year graduates from Elizabeth Seton High School in Bladensburg, Maryland with a 4.4 grade point average – was honored earlier this spring when she was named as a recipient of an Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship.
Nkoronye was one of about 400 students nationwide to be so recognized, and the only student from a Catholic school located in the state of Maryland to be awarded that scholarship. Amazon launched the Future Engineer Scholarship in 2019 and to date has awarded $54 million to more than 1,300 students.
“I was really excited. When I told my mom, we were jumping up and down and screaming,” Nkoronye recalled.
