Los Amigos High School valedictorian Brianna Bayliss and Salutatorian Ashlie Benitez were awarded the highly-selective Gates Scholarship, a prestigious college scholarship awarded to only 300 students across the nation each year. This is the second year in a row that two students from Los Amigos have earned this outstanding college scholarship which covers the full cost of attendance, not already covered by financial aid and renewable every year.
Bayliss said she is grateful that after working to earn as many scholarships as possible, she landed in the most ideal situation she could have hoped for as she enters college. She plans to attend UCLA in the fall to major in Mechanical Engineering.
Benitez, who is deciding between attending Harvard or NYU in the fall, said the Gates Scholarship represents endless opportunities for her future.
