Laura Markofski of Lewes awarded full scholarship to Immaculata University

Immaculata University announced that incoming freshman Laura Markofski has been selected for the Presidential Scholarship. The scholarship amount is equal to annual full-time undergraduate tuition. Markofski resides in Lewes, and she graduated from Cape Henlopen High School.

The Presidential Scholarship is awarded to a select number of students with a record of academic excellence. Students are evaluated on the basis of GPA (students must maintain a 3.25 GPA), class rigor, standardized test scores, class rank, and recommendations. 

During high school, Markofski was a member of the National Honor Society, Leo Club and Green Club. She also swam on the varsity swim team. Markofski is majoring in exercise science with a pre-occupational therapy concentration, and will attend Thomas Jefferson University starting her senior year to complete her master’s degree and doctorate in occupational therapy.

“The moment I found out that I was awarded with this scholarship, I was filled with joy,” she said. “I couldn’t have been happier. I thank my teachers for pushing me beyond my limits, and I also thank my mom for giving me the best advice in order to succeed and do well in life.”

Immaculata is a Catholic, coeducational institution of higher learning.
