A host of Surprise students are heading to college with a little bit of the cost covered by the city.

The Surprise City Council recently awarded a series of scholarships to nine residents who will be studying elsewhere this fall.

The biggest award went to Willow Canyon graduate Chloe Brown, who earned a $5,000 scholarship toward her studies at Arizona State University. Brown was involved in playing softball, volleyball, basketball and soccer, and served on the student council and the Key Club.
