Chagrin Falls High School Senior Grace Mossad is a Semifinalist in the 2025 National Merit® Scholarship Program. She is one of more than 16,000 Semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Mossad will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring. 

To be considered for a Merit Scholarship® award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.

“This prestigious honor is a testament to Grace’s hard work, dedication and commitment to academic excellence,” said Principal Amanda Rassi, Chagrin Falls High School. “Grace is an inspiration to all of us and we could not be more proud.”
