Congratulations to Caitlyn Black and Alastair Wriglesworth of Loris High; Nicholas Wnuk of St. James High; and Anthony Giorlando, Robert Hucks, and Alexander Nikolov of Scholars Academy High!
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) has awarded these students National Merit Scholarships in recognition of their superior academic achievements.
Last fall, NMSC named more than 16,000 Semifinalists. Over 15,000 students met the very high academic standards and other requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. While the NMSC also offers business- and college-sponsored scholarships to finalists, only 2,500 students each year receive the organization's premier scholarship. These individuals are the finalists judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
