Congratulations, Chloe Short!
KPRC 2 and Texas Mattress Makers are surprising 20 deserving high school seniors with scholarships. All students selected for scholarships have been nominated by their high schools.
This academic year was particularly challenging because of the pandemic, but these students still rose above and beyond in school.
The 17th $2,500 Senior Scholarship was awarded to Chloe Short from Grand Oaks High School in the Conroe Independent School District. She has been attending classes in person and has been able to maintain a 5.07 GPA. Short is ranked 11 out of 585.

A lyric from a 1970s rock song proclaims, “In life one and one don t make two; One and one make one.” Chris and Caitlynn Meek, who met because of a mathematics class at The University of Texas at Arlington, would certainly agree with that equation.
Caitlynn and Chris met in a pre-calculus lab that neither of them originally intended to take, and being acquaintances turned into a platonic friendship and, eventually, into a relationship. They got engaged in October 2019, after dating for two years (“It felt like a few days,” Caitlynn says). They made it official this past summer with a wedding attended by family and a small group of their closest friends.
