2026 J.P. Knapp Early College Scholarship Recipients

Two J.P. Knapp Early College High School seniors will start college next fall with financial assistance from Outer
Banks Community Foundation funds established by local donors and organizations.

The two 2026 scholarship awards for these students total $2,500. One of these scholarships is renewable, making a
potential additional commitment of $3,000 to one of these students over the next four years.

2026 J.P. Knapp Early College High School Recipients are:

  • Kalee Brackett received the Lucian Griffin Scholarship
  • Tyler Dayan, received the Outer Banks Association of Realtors Scholarship

The awards were presented at the J.P. Knapp Early College High School Awards Night on May 19, 2026. Congratulations to these students! Thank you, scholarship fund establishers and contributors, for supporting these students in their quests for college educations.
