Twelve Greenwich High School seniors have been recognized as 2025 National Merit® Scholarship Program Semifinalists. These students will now have the opportunity to continue in the competition for 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered in the spring.
The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition for recognition and college undergraduate scholarships based on their Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) scores. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of all U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
“These types of student accomplishments and achievements continue to make our entire community proud,” GHS Principal Ralph Mayo said. “We also applaud every Greenwich High School educator for inspiring our students to reach and exceed their goals in and out of the classroom.”
These students will be recognized by the Board of Education at an upcoming business meeting.
