Not since 2008-2009, has Princeton Day School announced seven semifinalists in this competition.
These students were among the approximately 16,000 Semifinalists named in the 58th annual National Merit Scholarship Program from the 1.5 million juniors around the country who applied for the program. The semifinalists represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, and include the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
These Princeton Day School students have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,300 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million that will be offered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in the spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
The National Merit Scholarship winners of 2013 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and concluding in July. These scholarship recipients will join more than 291,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title.
