LOUISVILLE, Ky. — This year, 16 “Super Seniors” were recognized for their academic achievements and extracurriculars.
During the Vogt Awards luncheon on Monday, every Jefferson County Public School senior received a $12,000 Vogt Educational and Leadership Scholarship.

“This scholarship has opened up so many opportunities for me,” Bella Tilford, a senior at duPont Manual, said. “And I’m just eternally grateful for it. I’d like to thank the community foundation for all the support along the way and of course my parents for all of the support throughout my whole life.”
