Of that number, 7 are for doctoral degrees, 91 are for graduate
degrees, and 265 are for undergraduate degrees. Following the
commencement ceremony, a reception for all graduates, their guests,

Online scholarships, not just a dream
Nettleton High graduate Kyle Morgan will enter ASU this fall as a
University Honors recipient and as a recipient of a $50,000
Entrepreneurial Scholarship from the McKelvey Foundation, founded by
Monster.com CEO Richard McKelvey. Morgan is one of only 10 students
selected nationwide for this prestigious scholarship, following a
lengthy selection process with nearly 400 applicants. Upon his
acceptance, Morgan was flown to Pennsylvania for a three day camp
earlier in the summer. Morgan did his homework for this, researching
online and applying for the scholarship. Congrats to Morgan for a
job well done. For more details about the scholarship or the
