Weekly Newsletter
This week, I'd like to highlight ECHS senior, Christopher Hong, who is a National Merit Scholarship Finalist! This recognition starts with about 1.5 million eligible students who take the PSAT. Approximately 50,000 of the highest scoring students receive program recognition.
From there, about 16,000 students are named as Semifinalists.
Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements, which are provided in the information they receive with their scholarship applications. These include completing an application, having a consistently very high academic record, writing an essay, being endorsed and recommended by a school official, and taking the SAT® or ACT® and earning a score that confirms the PSAT/NMSQT performance.
Congratulations, Christopher, on making it this far in the process as very few students are named National Merit Scholar Finalist!! Please join me in wishing him the best as he moves on to the next round of selection!!
