The High School recently learned that seven York Suburban seniors have been recognized as part of the National Merit Scholarship Program. Five students: Lucy Cook, Megan Hunt, Daniel Lee, Thomas Moyer, and Jack Schultz, were recognized as National Merit Commended Students. Two students: Elizabeth Huh and Molly Sargen are currently recognized as National Merit Semi-finalists and remain eligible for the finalist standing!
Each year only approximately 50,000 students out of the 1.6 million students nationwide earn National Merit recognition. The students earn their recognition by performing in the top two to three percent of all students on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) during their junior year. These seven students are now eligible for a special pool of scholarships only available to students recognized in the National Merit program. The awards can range from small scholarships to full-tuition scholarships at various higher education institutions around the country.
