Chagrin Falls Schools is pleased to announce that three students have been named National Merit Semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The students are Thomas Brennan, Clara Ives and James Wilkinson.
The 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), served as an initial screen of entrants to the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. These students will compete for a share of 7,140 scholarships worth nearly $28 million.
Before Semifinalists can be considered for Merit Scholarship awards, Semifinalists must qualify as Finalists by completing the National Merit Scholarship Application using NMSC’s Online Scholarship Application and fulfilling several other requirements. Finalists will be announced in February.
