American School is proud to award post-secondary scholarships to 18 deserving graduates. The winners come from diverse backgrounds and hometowns, plan to attend different colleges and universities, and have different interests and career aspirations, but each of them earned his or her accredited high school diploma from American School, a leader in distance education since 1897.

When they are not studying, they enjoy hobbies such as ice dancing, crocheting, marksmanship, ballroom dancing, coin collecting, stamp collecting, vegetarianism, reading, singing, dancing, photography, cooking, gardening, writing, playing musical instruments and exercising.
