The winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Tampa Bay Alumni Association Hillsborough County Scholarship was Kathleen Gibbons, who graduated from C. Leon King High School's International Baccalaureate program with straight As and 1460 SAT scores.

She will attend Williams College and plans to become an astrophysicist.  In true Phi Beta Kappa spirit, Kathleen says that she chose Williams because in addition to its reputation for fostering intellectual curiosity and social activism, it "encourages students to pursue a broad range of knowledge and scholarship, rather than limiting themselves to a particular field of study."
