MANSFIELD—A Mansfield St. Peter High School senior has been named as one of the 800 outstanding black American high school seniors who have won Achievement Scholarship awards for college undergraduate study.

Blaise Bradley is the only student at a Catholic high school in the Diocese of Toledo to be awarded a scholarship in this category. He anticipates studying law with his $2,500 award.

The awards, totaling $2.6 million dollars, are financed by grants from more than 40 corporate organizations and professional associations, and by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The National Achievement Scholarship Program is a privately financed academic competition established in 1964 specifically to honor scholastically talented black American youth, and to provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding participants in each annual competition.
