Eleven Chelmsford seniors at Nashoba Valley Technical High School have earned scholarships for free undergraduate tuition to state colleges and universities.

The students include Chloe Adler-Mandile, Dennis Baker, Jacob Ballerini, Christopher Cassidy, Camron Clark, Brendan Conley, Devin Hussey, James Morrison, Amanda Rogers, Michael Soave and Justin Uzzell.

The John & Abigail Adams scholarship is offered to students who score in the advanced category in either the Mathematics or English Language Arts section of the 10th-grade MCAS test, and in the Proficient or Advanced category in the other section. Additionally, qualifying students must have a combined MCAS score on those two assessments that ranks in the top 25 percent of their school district; be a permanent Massachusetts resident; be a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen; enroll in a postsecondary institution full time in the first traditional academic semester after high-school graduation; and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.

Forty-two Nashoba Tech seniors, the maximum number, qualified for the scholarship, according to a press release.
