LT Students Named as National Merit Scholarship Finalists

LT is proud to announce that nine seniors have been named finalists in the 68th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

More than 1.5 million students nationwide entered the Merit Program as juniors by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. High scorers were designated
Semifinalists, representing less than 1% of the state's graduating class. In total, just over 16,000 academically talented seniors qualified nationwide. Out of over 16,000 Semifinalists, approximately 15,000 qualified as Finalists. Those Finalists will find out in March if they are Merit Scholarship winners.

They must maintain an outstanding academic record throughout their senior year, be endorsed and recommended by their principal, submit SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying test, and complete a scholarship application detailing their leadership and community activities.

Congratulations:
