90 Wisconsin Students Win National Merit Scholarships

MILWAUKEE, WI — Numerous Wisconsin High School students were honored with National Merit Scholarships funded by U.S. colleges and universities, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced today.

Of the roughly 3,500 winners, 90 were from Wisconsin, organizers said.

Officials of each sponsor college selected their scholarship winners from among the Finalists
in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program who plan to attend their institution. These
awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study
at the institution financing the scholarship.

This year, 173 higher education institutions are underwriting Merit Scholarship awards
through the National Merit Scholarship Program. Sponsor colleges and universities include 95
private and 78 public institutions located in 43 states and the District of Columbia.
