Bellefontaine High School senior Samuel Moreland has earned the Rural/Small Town Recognition Program Scholar award.

This College Board National Recognition Program grants underrepresented students with academic honors that can be included on college and scholarship applications. The grant also helps students stand out during the admissions process.

Moreland earned the award for having a 3.5 GPA or higher, excelling on the PSAT/NMSQT, and earning a 3 or higher on two or more AP exams. He is one of only 32,000 students from across the country to earn this academic honor.

Moreland is the son of Thomas and Rachel Moreland.
