NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP RECOGNITION
Two LISA Academy West students have scored high enough on the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) to be entered into the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. Over 1.6 million students took the exam, and only 50,000 highest scoring students progress into the National Merit Scholarship Program. Students who are recognized as Semifinalists or Commended students will be recognized in September, and we are proud that Haley Stanton and Gracie Durand have earned their place in the program.
Congratulations! We hope they get the success on the other eliminations.
