CCV student awarded Cooke Scholarship to complete bachelor's degree

Community College of Vermont student Autumn Morse of Brattleboro has been awarded a highly competitive Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. The award will provide Morse with up to $55,000 a year to complete her bachelor’s degree.

Morse is completing her associate degree in health science this summer and will transfer to Suffolk University to study radiation science. For Morse, who once doubted her ability to finish high school, receiving the transfer scholarship is a reminder she can do anything she sets her mind to.
