McLean Middle School Student Named Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar 

Fort Worth, Texas – Fort Worth ISD 8th grader Timothy Im has been named one of 52 new national Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Young Scholars. Im attends McLean Middle School.

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Young Scholars Program seeks high-achieving, low to moderate-income students, and cultivates their talents and abilities throughout high school by providing the personalized advising and financial support needed to secure challenging academic opportunities.

“These experiences will enable [students] to develop and nurture [their] academic skills, explore [their] passions and interests and stretch outside [their] comfort zones,” said Lawrence Kutner, Ph.D. Foundation executive director.

 Currently there are 270 students total in the Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar program.
