Four Students Named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists

Four MSJA seniors were named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists: Kaitlyn Przydzial , Megan Ciasullo, Natalie Walker, and Gabriella Ford.

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.6 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements. About 16,000 students, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high scorers, qualify as Semifinalists. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state.

Congratulations to these students on this accomplishment!
