Cambridge Christian School Senior Wins Jefferson Scholarship

By Marty Premer April 2025

Senior Emily Peake ‘25 is the winner of the Jefferson Scholarship for the University of Virginia. It is one of the most prestigious awards in the country, and it includes all expenses paid for four years. This is valued at just under $400,000. Of roughly 2,750 nominated students, approximately 30 students world-wide become Jefferson Scholars every year after an extensive interview process including regional review and final selection. Emily has not yet committed to UVA, as she is being courted by many top schools in the country to include Duke University and Washington and Lee University, but this scholarship certainly helps! We are proud of Emily and her classmates in the class of 2025, set to graduate in two months!
