The National Merit Scholarship is an academic competition for financial aid and recognition.The scholarship initially has 1.6 million entrants each year, and the students are selected according to their academic skills.

The students were contacted in early September of their position. They are just a small factor of kids from Indiana that scored the highest on their junior year PSAT. The students are required to complete an essay in order to advance into Finalist standings and will be notified in February if they have moved onto the Finals. The winners are chosen from the Finalist pool based on their skills and achievements.

Congratulations to all semifinalists from both South and North, and best of luck!
