11 South students gain recognition as semifinalists for the National Merit Scholarship Program

19 Bloomington-area students were named semifinalists for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Students enter the program by taking the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) during their junior year of high school. Students with the top scores in their state can become semifinalists or Commended Students (receive Letters of Commendation for outstanding academic performance but do not have high enough scores to continue in the competition.) Semifinalists can become finalists by submitting academic records, essays, and letters of recommendation. Of the roughly 1.2 million eligible students who take the PSAT/NMSQT nearly 50,000 applicants receive program recognition for being a high-scorer, and around 16,000 become semifinalists. Here are the semifinalists from Bloomington South:
