Several dozen Naperville-area high schools students were among the 16,000 chosen as semifinalists in the 69th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.
They will be competing for $28 million in National Merit Scholarship money that will be awarded to more than 7,100 students in spring 2024.The semifinalists come from more than 1.3 million students nationwide who took the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which is the initial screening for the competition.
They represent less than 1% of high school seniors nationwide and are the highest scorers on the test in each state, according to a news release from the National Merit Scholarship Corp., a nonprofit organization established in 1955 to recognize high-achieving students.The number of semifinalists in each state is proportional to that state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors, the release said.
Students will be notified between April and July if they received one of the three types of scholarships awarded, each of which is worth $2,500.Naperville Central High School: Athena Chen, Addison Cho, Celeste Emery, Vittoria Gallina, Eric Gu, Hamza Hasan, Kynan McCabe-Wild, Jake Pfeiffer, Brian Schlesinger, Deetya Singhal, Aarit Tewatia, Jason Xu, Melody Xu, Kira Yang and Harry Yu.William Anderson, Ashwin Balaraman, Claire Chen, Dylan Ellis, Michael P.
