Samuell High School. Both students attend the Science and Engineering Magnet at the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center.
The winning prize is a four-year scholarship to The University of Texas at Dallas. This win was a repeat performance for Montelongo who won last year’s competition and the UTD scholarship. This year’s scholarship went to Jayakumar.
The UTD scholarship covers the cost of tuition and mandatory fees through eight semesters of enrollment. The scholarship is worth approximately $48,000.
