University College student Monica Antone-Watson was one of eight students selected to receive the Dr. Sherman V. N. Kent Scholarship from the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society for the 2011-12 academic year. Antone-Watson was selected from an outstanding group of candidates nationwide for her academic achievement, scholarship, leadership and need.
