Help AHS junior get to Stanford
‘How do you feel about the
cruise ships starting to arrive
again this week?’
“I think that’s excellent. It supports
the community, and puts Astoria on
the map, and helps motivate continued
improvement of the town.”
Ken Rislow, Astoria
“Good for the economy. No doubt.
What’s good for the economy is good
for everybody. Seems like a good thing
— tourism is money.”
Robert Casey, Astoria
Morgan Postlewait, a ju-
nior and an honors student
at Astoria High School, was
recently accepted into the
Stanford University’s High
School Summer College
program, which places stu-
dents from around the world
at the prestigious university
for summer quarter. But she
needs the community’s help
paying her way to Palo Alto,
Calif.
“I am very excited about
this opportunity,” Postlewait
said. “This experience will
go beyond helping me get
into the top universities; it
will also make me more suc-
cessful ßonce I am there. I
am ready for and need this
opportunity for this aca-
demic challenge. Without
Morgan Postlewait
attending Stanford High
School Summer Program,
I fear I am not competitive
enough to gain admission for
undergraduate studies to the
schools of my dreams, such
as Stanford and Harvard.
The drawback to the pro-
gram, she added, is the cost,
about $15,000. She’s re-
ceived scholarships through
Stanford and from Astoria
High School Scholarship
Inc., along with contri-
butions from family and
friends. As of Tuesday, Pos-
tlewait had more than $2,200
left to raise through her
online fundraiser at www.
gofundme.com/morgantos-
tanford
Only 550 of at least 5,000
applicants were offered ad-
mission to this program.
According to Astoria
High School Principal Lynn
Jackson, “Morgan is a spe-
cial student and has been
extremely proactive in her
education. She has con-
tinually sought additional
learning opportunities and
has not shied away from
an academic challenge. We
are very excited for Mor-
gan and know she will
represent our community
well.”
“I want to be a doctor,”
Postlewait said. “I want to
heal people and spend time
overseas helping those who
don’t have readily available
access to health care. We
are all people. It doesn’t
matter where you are from
or what you look like.
We all get sick. I want to
help.”
