The award, sponsored by Turbo Tutoring (www.turbo-tutoring.com), was given to Oswalt based on her response to an essay contest the local prep company offered to any student who had attended one of its SAT seminars. The prompt asked students to explain why higher education was important to them, and Oswalt's answer impressed Gregg Greentree (left) and Dan Harris (right), FCPS educators and co-owners of Turbo Tutoring. The cash award is co-sponsored by the All American Steakhouse and Manhattan Pizza.
