ATLANTA, Ga. – Cansis Widger, of Livermore Falls, Maine, has been named a member of the National Society of High School Scholars.
The society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship and community commitment. The announcement was made by NSHSS Founder and Chairman Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes.
Widger, who turned 18 in February, is home schooled and earned a merit scholarship to the University of Maine. She does volunteer work at First Baptist Church of Livermore Falls, and has had a college-level education since 10th grade. She is the daughter or Rebecca Widger and David Widger.
“On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and commitment that Cansis has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,” said Nobel. “Cansis is now a member of a unique community of scholars — a community that represents our very best hope for the future.”
NSHSS members automatically become lifetime member. At each step along the way — from high school to college to career — NSHSS connects outstanding young scholars with the resources they need to develop their strengths and pursue their passions.
Formed in 2002 by James W. Lewis and Claes Nobel, a senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes, the National Society of High School Scholars recognizes academic excellence at the high school level and helps advance the goals and aspirations of high-achieving students through unique learning experiences, scholarships, internships, international study and peer networks.
