Chasina Klein, a Ketchikan graduating senior, is one of 22 winners in the state of the BP Principals Scholarship.
The scholarship, which is a partnership between BP Alaska and the Alaska Principals Foundation (APF), is worth $4,000. Every principal in Alaska nominates one graduating senior who has excelled in school and in the community for the scholarship, and the APF Board of Directors selects the winners.
Since the program began in 1985, BP Alaska has awarded more than $3.8 million to 850 Alaska students.
