Eighty-five Fulton County students have been named semifinalists in the 54th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.
These high-achieving high school seniors now continue in the competition for 8,200 Merit Scholarship awards worth approximately $35 million. These students are in the first round of competition, and finalists will be named later this year. The scholarship winners will be selected in the spring and summer of 2009.
Semifinalists were identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which they took as juniors last school year. The students now must fulfill several requirements in order to advance to the finalist round.
They must have a record of high academic performance, be endorsed and recommended by their school principal and earn SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying test performance. An essay and information about participation and leadership in school and in community activities must also be submitted by each semifinalist.
