Houghton area student Micaela Geborkoff, has won a $2,000 Michigan State University Pre-College Achievement Scholarship.

Geborkoff was part of the 4-H Exploration Days, which is one of six pre-college programs offered by MSU Extension 4-H Youth Development.

MSU’s pre-college programs are an excellent way for students to examine potential career choices, which will help them choose high school classes, to better prepare them for college.
