The FHS Science Department selected Saif Ali as the recipient of the 2018 Rensselaer Medal, awarded annually to promising secondary school juniors who distinguish themselves in science and mathematics.
As a result of the distinction, Ali will be awarded a $25,000 per year merit scholarship that is guaranteed for four years should he apply, be accepted to and choose to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (five years if he enrolls in the School of Architecture program).
In the event Ali enrolls at Rensselaer following his senior year, he will be presented with the medal during the university's Honors Convocation in fall 2019.
