An 18-year-old home scholar from Pennsylvania is among the contestants chosen to participate in "The Scholar," a new reality show. Scot Parsley's national television debut will take place on Monday night.
From ABC.com: "For the chance at a full ride to the college of their choice, ten qualified high school seniors from economically disadvantaged backgrounds -- who might not otherwise have an opportunity to attend one of America's top universities -- will compete for a full scholarship, a prize that could be worth as much as $240,000. They will have to demonstrate excellence in the areas of academics, leadership, creativity and community service, while facing sudden-death oral exams defending themselves to an Ivy League scholarship committee."
