Immaculate Heart Academy Senior Athlete Receives $500 Scholarship

Meghan Twiss, a senior at Immaculate Heart Academy, recently received a $500 scholarship Tri County Orthopedics for her accomplishments on and off the field.

Twiss, a swimmer, was named to the honor roll and earned distinguished honors and received the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Medalist Award last year.

Twiss was one of 217 high school student-athletes honored by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association with $172,000 in college scholarships.

Each NJSIAA member high school selected one senior as their student-athlete of the year. Those students then attended the luncheon where their names were randomly selected to receive a scholarship.

More than $17,000 was awarded to 22 Bergen County student-athletes at the luncheon.
