CBNA Junior Awarded the Rensselaer Medal Coe-Brown Northwood Academy is pleased to announce that junior Benjamin Porter of Nottingham has been selected to receive the Rensselaer Medal Award. For more than 95 years, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in conjunction with high schools around the world has awarded the Rensselaer Medal to promising secondary school students who have distinguished themselves in math and science. The Medal, first awarded in 1916, has two purposes, first, to recognize superlative academic achievement of young men and women, and second to motivate students toward careers in science, engineering and technology. To be honored with this prestigious award, a student must be ranked within the top 10% of the junior class, demonstrate potential for success in a challenging academic setting, excel in math and science courses (chemistry, physics, and a minimum of four years of mathematics through pre-calculus) and exhibit significant involvement in extracurricular activities. Should the student choose to enroll in RPI for post-secondary education, a merit scholarship with a minimum value of $15,000 per year is guaranteed. Congratulations to Ben!
