Later, as a high school student in Bryan Station&#8217;s IT Academy, she attended an event where university and school district administrators<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2018\/09\/bryan-station-transylvania-announce-partnership-to-provide-scholarships-to-it-academy-graduates\/\"> announced a minimum $18,000 scholarship<\/a> for program graduates. &#8220;This pretty much like seals the deal for me,&#8221; she told herself at the time. &#8220;There&#8217;s no way I can&#8217;t go now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2-810x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15687\" width=\"553\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2-810x539.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2-730x486.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/01\/Transylvania-University_classroom2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>An art education major, Mason was well prepped for Transylvania&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/academics\/liberal-arts-curriculum\/digital-liberal-arts\/\"> digital liberal arts focus<\/a> by combining the Station Arts Academy with the IT Academy in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fayette County Public Schools<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcps.net\/academies\"> describes programs like these<\/a> as academically rigorous, career-focused, &#8220;small learning communities.&#8221; And the work can be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s learning to be resilient \u2014 it can be really stressful sometimes,&#8221; Mason said of the extra workload. And as with Transylvania, the academies form tight-knit communities where students benefit from connections between each other and teachers \u2014 bonds that can pay off in a variety of ways, from good advice to internships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First-year student Olivia Greinke also got a head start on her Transylvania education in high school. &#8220;Rather than just teaching us material and making it testable, they wanted us to be inquisitive people \u2014 they taught us to ask analytical questions,&#8221; said the graduate of Henry Clay&#8217;s Liberal Arts Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greinke, who is majoring in math and economics and minoring in computer science, said the writing skills she learned and being able to analyze papers set her up well for college. &#8220;Being able to think critically \u2014 that&#8217;s a skill that Transy really values,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for first-year student Jenna Shalash, she said Tates Creek&#8217;s IB program helped her break out of her comfort zone. Along with taking courses like Theory of Knowledge and being thrown into presentations and other hard projects, she started joining clubs her junior year and ended up being senior class president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I come in as a freshman with a junior mindset because I&#8217;ve already experienced the stressors and anxiety that come with a large workload,&#8221; Shalash said. &#8220;I also fit in well with the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/academics\/liberal-arts-curriculum\/\"> liberal arts education at Transy<\/a> because in Theory of Knowledge we had to question everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shalash, who is studying political science and writing, rhetoric and communication, also has an \u201caspiration for wanting to make a difference in my community.&#8221; This kind of engagement is key to the liberal arts mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to the future, Shalash plans to study law. &#8220;Whenever I apply to law school, Transy will be that new IB that will put me ahead of everybody,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some local high school programs prepare students so well for a Transylvania education \u2014 get them so primed for the liberal arts \u2014 that the university guarantees their graduates a substantial scholarship.
