Fleming High School recently announced that Zoey Vandenbark has earned a place in the Daniels Scholarship Program. Vandenbark was among 240 students across Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming who were selected as 2022 Daniels Scholars.

The complete list is available at: http://www.DanielsFund.org/2022DanielsScholars.

Vandenbark will gradute from Fleming High School in May. She plans to attend Metro State University in Denver to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. "I plan to pursue a career in anesthesiology as a certified registered nurse anesthetist," Vandenbark said.

Daniels Scholars demonstrate the strength of character, leadership potential and a commitment to serving the community that will position them for success. They are selected because they possess these and other distinguishing qualities and values that were important to Daniels Fund founder, Bill Daniels.

"The Fleming School is very proud of Zoey and all of her accomplishments," said Superintendent Steve McCracken. "She is an outstanding student and is very deserving to be named a Daniels Scholarship recipient. We are elated that her hard work and achievements has earned her this recognition."

Daniels Scholars may attend any accredited nonprofit college or university anywhere in the United States. The program covers up to $100,000 towards their undergraduate education, depending on family need.

"We're delighted to invest in the education of these outstanding young people," said Hanna Skandera, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Daniels Fund. "We can't wait to see the success and impact of the 2022 Class of Daniels Scholars. It's an incredible group of motivated, talented and hard-working leaders."

With this year's announcement, more than 4,800 students have received the Daniels Scholarship. Since 2000, more than $255 million in scholarships has been awarded through the Daniels Scholarship Program.
