The Stanley Z. Koplik Certificate of Mastery Awards
The Koplik Certificate of Mastery
Award will continue for the Class of 2005 and each class
thereafter. Graduating seniors who receive the Koplik
Certificate of Mastery Award will be eligible for a tuition
waiver for up to eight continuous semesters at Massachusetts
public universities, state colleges, and community colleges.
The waiver does not apply to fees, private institutions of
higher education in or out of state, or to any reciprocal
academic programs between Massachusetts' public colleges and
universities and out of state institutions of higher
education. It should be noted that a Koplik Certificate of
Mastery recipient may also be awarded the Adams Scholarship
described above. For such students, however, the college or
university may waive tuition under one program only.
In the fall of 2003, guidance counselors received lists of
members of the Class of 2005 whose MCAS scores initially
qualified them for this Award. Many students haven taken or
will take the SATII or Advanced Placement exams, or plan to
participate in other rigorous academic competitions to fulfill
all the requirements for the Koplik Certificate of Mastery
Award
