Ninety Seniors Earn Semifinalist Standing in 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program
September 16, 2009
The Plano Independent School District joins with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation to recognize 90 seniors who have been awarded National Merit Semifinalist status.
These Plano ISD students are among 16,000 academically talented seniors who have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 8,200 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $36 million to be awarded next spring.
To be considered for a 2010 National Merit Scholarship, Semifinalists must fulfill arduous academic and application requirements to advance to the Finalist level of competition. Of the estimated 90 percent of the Semifinalists who achieve Finalist standing, approximately half will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Doug Otto said, “I congratulate each of these outstanding students receiving this honor recognizing individual performance, academic ability and the potential for successful pursuit of rigorous college programs. Our district salutes each of these scholastic champions and wishes them success in their endeavors to advance in this prestigious scholarship program.”
Congratulations, Semifinalists!
