Broward County Students Bring Home National Merit Scholarships

SCHOOL NEWS Broward County Students Bring Home National Merit Scholarships

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation named 17 Broward County seniors recipients of the prestigious National Merit Scholarship. The National Merit Scholarship Program was founded to identify and honor scholastically talented American youth and to encourage them to develop their abilities to the fullest. Only 1% of the 1.6 million entrants are selected as Semifinalists each year. The Semifinalists are students who achieve the highest scores on the PSAT/NMSQT in their respective states.

Fewer than 8,000 of the Semifinalists go on to win scholarships. The winners are selected on a state-by-state basis and are judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. NMSC winners receive a $2,500 scholarship and the honor of being a Nation Merit Scholar. Broward’s winners include: ▸ Javier Pratdesaba of Everglades High School ▸ Hannah Quintal of Nova High School ▸ Kam Cheung of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School ▸ Talia Rumsky of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School ▸ Karen Villancio-Wolter of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School ▸ Grant Cooper ofNorth Broward Prep ▸ Ronni Shashoua of NSU University High School ▸ Blake Kravitz, Pine Crest School ▸ Ara L.
