Meet this year’s Mesa Public Schools Flinn Scholars

by Mesa Public Schools June 30, 2016July 1, 2016
written by Mesa Public Schools June 30, 2016July 1, 2016

Westwood High School graduates Maeve Kennedy, Ivette Montes and Andrew Roberts join Skyline High School’s Toni Marcheva as the district’s 2016 Flinn Scholars.

With three scholars, Westwood is the only school in the state to have more than one this year. Maeve, Ivette and Andrew, all Westwood International Baccalaureate students, will be attending Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University in the fall. Toni will attend University of Arizona.

Flinn Scholars receive free tuition, as well as room and board, at Arizona public universities. They also have won invaluable prizes, including a three-week summer seminar in China, funding for studying abroad, mentorship from faculty members and the opportunity to interact with world leaders.

More than 3,500 students graduated on May 26, from Dobson, Mesa, Mountain View, Red Mountain, Skyline, Westwood and East Valley Academy high schools. The class of 2016 was offered more than $81 million in scholarships, grants, loans and other awards.

Plans for the future—I plan to major in chemical engineering and minor in Chinese. My dream job would be to address environmental concerns through engineering, possibly focusing on battery disposal and energy storage.

Plans for the future—I will study PPEL, which is politics, philosophy, economics and law. I’m also interested in studying several languages (like Russian and Spanish) and creative writing for fun. My dream job isn’t exactly set. Law interests me a lot, and I love learning the languages and cultures of other countries. This may translate into a job as an ambassador, but I’m excited to see where college will lead me.
