Junior Matthew Glaser selected as 2025 Carson Scholar

After a rigorous application process, Junior Matthew Glaser has been awarded the 2025 Carson Scholars Award. The Carson Scholars Fund awards a one-time $1,000 scholarship to students in grades 4-11 who excel academically and serve their community. The scholarship award has been made possible by The Kahlert Foundation. Scholarship winners receive the honor of being named Carson Scholars, an Olympic-sized medal, and a trophy for their school to celebrate their accomplishments. 

Gerstell students Imari Owens ’25, Olivia Sprinkle '24, Ashtyn Logue '26, and Colton Smith ‘28 have also been recognized as returning Carson Scholars. This honor is given to recipients who maintain their eligibility under the requirements of the Scholarship Fund. Gerstell Academy Portrait Leader, Dr. Ben Carson and his wife, Candy, started this fund under the principle that if children could be taught early to excel, they would stay motivated and have a higher chance of educational success in life. Though recognized scholars do not receive additional monies, they are honored each year as they continue this important legacy. 
  
Student winners will be honored on May 18th at the Baltimore area Carson Scholars event.  
  
Congratulations to Matthew and the Gerstell Carson Scholars!
