Heart pounding, Lillie Shelton opened her web browser in April to check the status of her application to Johns Hopkins University. When she read "Congratulations," her excitement was quickly dampened by the realization of what her diploma was going to cost her family. Because of her perfect GPA and involvement in almost every extracurricular activity offered at Ozen, Shelton, 17, has qualified for roughly $50,000 in scholarships and financial aid for the 2017-18 school year. After graduation, she plans to either attend medical school or get an engineering job in the medical field.
