Program Semi-finalists

You could call them a perfect 10! That’s the number of Richland One seniors named as semi-finalists in the prestigious and highly competitive 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program, which awards college scholarships to academically gifted students. Only one percent of U.S. high-school seniors qualify as National Merit semifinalists. Scholarship winners will be announced in the spring.

Richland One congratulates the following seniors for their selection as semi-finalists:

A.C. Flora High School
* Meredith P. Nix

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and college scholarships. Semi-finalists are chosen based on high scores on the PSAT. There are three types of awards: National Merit $2,500 scholarships that are single-payment awards; corporate-sponsored Merit/Achievement awards that may be renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study or one-time awards; and college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards that are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study.
