Seniors to receive $2,500 National Merit scholarships Sue Kiesewetter
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Thirty Tristate high school seniors will each receive a one-time $2,500 scholarship from the National Merit Scholarship Corp. They are among 2,500 nationally, selected from a pool of 15,000 finalists. Criteria included academic record – including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned – along with scores from two standardized tests, leadership, community activities, essay, and a recommendation written by a high school official. Honorees represent less than 1 percent of all seniors nationally. They were among 1.5 million who entered the 2018 competition by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as juniors. This is the second of four releases of corporate, college and National Merit scholarships that will be awarded through July. The scholarships can be used at any regionally accredited United States college or university. Last month 1,000 students nationally received corporate-sponsored awards. There will be two more announcements – one each in June and in July – of scholarships awarded to finalists by colleges. By the end of the competition, about 7,500 scholarships valued at more than $31 million will have been awarded. Here are Tristate students receiving the scholarship, by high school, along with their probable career field. INDIANA East Central: Sydney Hornberger,
