13 National Scholarship Finalists At Ward Melville High

Thirteen Ward Melville High School seniors have been named finalists in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program.

These academically talented seniors were honored as semifinalists earlier this year based on the results of their Preliminary SATs, a test that serves as an initial screening of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements. They now have the opportunity to continue for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth about $33 million.
