Chagrin Falls High School Senior Grace Mossad is a Finalist in the 2025 National Merit® Scholarship Program.
This achievement places Mossad among the nation's top high school scholars. Finalists are eligible for National Merit Scholarships, awarded to approximately half of those who reach this distinguished level. Scholarship winners are selected based on their abilities, accomplishments, and overall qualifications.
To earn Finalist status, students must meet rigorous criteria, including an outstanding academic record, strong SAT or ACT scores that confirm PSAT/NMSQT performance, and a recommendation from their high school principal. They must also submit a detailed application featuring coursework, extracurricular activities, volunteer efforts, and a personal essay.
All National Merit Finalists receive a Certificate of Merit and gain recognition for their exceptional achievements. Winners of National Merit Scholarships will be announced this month.
