Honyumptewa,
who serves as a volunteer recruiter for Penn State, said the university
is one of the most academically competitive in the nation. He is the
lone Hopi student among the 41,000 on campus and said 75 percent of
the students attending Penn State have some sort of scholarship. There
are 40 Native Americans in attendance. Honyumptewa said one of the requirements is that high school students must be in the top 10 percent in their class in order to be admitted to Penn State. He added that the average grade point average for student admission is 3.7. Honyumptewa
said Penn State has "a really good journalism program" as
its college newspaper is ranked the best in the country. He
said Penn State also has strong engineering and research programs, noting
that it is one of the top 10 largest research universities in America. Raised in Tuba City, Honyumptewa graduated from Westview High School in Avondale. He is majoring in pre-med. Honyumptewa
plays racquetball and skis for Penn State. "It
snows a lot there, so if you like the sun, come out during the summer,"
he said.
