• 2008 Merit Scholarship Competition:  From more than one million students who entered the 2007 National Merit Scholarship Program, only about 16,000 were named semifinalists.  They were designated on a state representational basis, in proportion to each state’s percentage of the national total of high school graduating seniors.  In order to advance in the competition and be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, a Semifinalist had to become a Finalist by fulfilling several requirements that included submitting a detailed scholarship application and presenting a record of very high academic performance.  All winners of about 8,000 Merit Scholarship awards are being chosen from the group of approximately 15,000 distinguished semi-finalists.

Ryan Donohoe, Rebecca Elman, Ryan Leahy,
