WEST WINDSOR -- A Wyncote, Pa., high school student was cho sen from 300 applicants to receive a $20,000 tuition scholarship from the New Jersey-based Citizen United Reciprocal Exchange auto insurance company that has offices in the township.

Andrew "Jordy" Freed of Cheltenham High School is the third recipient of the "Pay It Forward" Scholarship, which is based on the 2000 movie of the same name and promotes contributions to society for no personal gain.

The four other finalists were Andrew Brake of Morrisville High School; David Karas of Notre Dame High School in Lawrence; Joshua Suslak from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South and Kimberly Critelli from The College of New Jersey in Ewing.

Each of the five finalists will receive a plaque and $1,000 from CURE for textbooks as well as other gifts.

Freed focused his winning essay on organizing benefit concerts that raise money for charitable organizations such as tsunami relief.
