12 UHS students named National Merit Scholarship Program finalists

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation recently announced that 12 of our 13 Unionville High School National Merit Semifinalists are now finalists.

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships in which students are entered by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test  one that serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year.

Of the 1.5 million entrants, roughly 50,000 students with the highest PSAT/NMSQT Selection Index scores across the three sections critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills qualify for recognition in the NMSP. About two-thirds (approximately 34,000) of the 50,000 students receive Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise, while only about 16,000 qualify as "semifinalists" and continue on to the next round of the competition.

Finalists typically represent 1 percent of the total initial entrants and are chosen based on their test scores, academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, and honors and awards received.

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees:
