Benjamin Russell High School's Class of 2021 raked in a collective $6,950,157 in scholarships, an all-time for the school despite a smaller percentage of seniors pursuing higher education overall.

After spending the last few months of their junior year in lockdown and their senior year in and out of virtual learning, this year's 12th-graders won a scholarship total up $1.4 million from 2020. Even 2019, "the before times," was succeeded by over $1 million.
