North County High quadruples its amount over last year
Last year, North County High School in Glen Burnie received $1.7 million in college scholarship offers for graduating seniors, a figure that would draw kudos throughout much of the country but not as much in Anne Arundel County, which is fast becoming known for its students' penchant for garnering financial aid funds that would rival the Maryland Lottery.North County's sum was last among the county's 12 high schools, and less than half that of 11th-place Southern High. The school also finished last in 2009 and had never received more than $2.1 million for scholarships in a single year.
That changed this year, as a concerted effort by students, faculty and the Glen Burnie community helped North County get $7.1 million in scholarship offers, more than four times what it raised last year and second only to Severna Park in the highest increase in scholarship offer amounts since last year.

and how did Wicomico County do?
...and Worcester and Somerset? Does anyone here really care about secured Scholarships across the bay? But I would be very interested in reading secured scholarships locally. I would also be interested in public school vs private schools for secured scholarships, since my little one will be starting his schooling in two years.
