Slate thanked educators at Westerville North High School for the supportive roles they played in his academic journey.
Westerville North High School senior Julian Slate will attend The Ohio State University this fall as a Morrill Distinction Scholar within the Fisher College of Business. He has received a full four-year academic scholarship. The Morrill Scholars Program rewards students who show commitment to both academics and diversity by excelling in the classroom and making a positive impact in their communities. Morrill Scholars are selected because they have shown their advocacy for equity and access by contributing to those around them.

One of the top students in his class, he is a National Honor Society member and an Outstanding Honors Chemistry student.
