Redmond High School senior Meghana Noonavath was recently surprised by representatives from Nordstrom Cares, who stopped by her calculus class to surprise her with a $10,000 college scholarship plus a MacBook Air laptop.

Noonavath was one of 80 students selected out of an applicant pool of more than 11,700 high school students to receive this scholarship. To apply, students completed an online application, which included a personal statement and an original essay. Selected finalists were then interviewed in person or by video conference with a regional selection committee that consists of educators, business leaders, community partners and Nordstrom representatives.
