Berkeley was presented with the scholarship at a presentation ceremony May 21.
“It's hard to think that your vote matters in a country of 333 million people, but it does,” Cox said.
"This year I decided to use my voice, my passion for justice and my desire to work hard for what I believe in to try and make a change at the state level,” she said. During the final months of her senior year, she worked as an intern to successfully help Jim Woodward win the Republican primary for the Idaho State Senate.
Cox will be attending Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., majoring in political science. Her ultimate goal is to become a lawyer.
