Fallston High Student Receives Northrop Grumman Scholarship

A Fallston High School student was one of 24 Maryland students who won a scholarship in an annual Northrop Grumman competition.

John Augustine O’Neill was named Harford County's winner of a $10,000 scholarship in the company's 11th annual Engineering Scholarship Competition. The scholarships—one awarded in each county and Baltimore city—will be officially handed out at an awards reception in Baltimore later this month.

The scholarship program aims to support students who plan on entering an engineering-related field and meet GPA and ACT or SAT requirements.

“Northrop Grumman is honored to sponsor this scholarship competition that supports the pursuit of an engineering education by some of the state’s best-qualified math and science students,” Gloria A. Flach, Northrop Grumman's corporate vice president, said in a release. “These talented students represent the future of our country’s technology and innovation capability.”
