8 Lebo Students Named National Merit Semi-Finalists

The National Merit Scholarship Corp. recently announced about 16,000 semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition. The high school seniors will compete for about 8,200 National Merit Scholarships, worth a total of more than $35 million.

The semi-finalists were chosen based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT exam, taken by 1.5 million high school juniors in more than 21,000 high schools last school year. The number of winners is proportional to each state's percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.

In the next step, about 90 percent will become finalists based on applications, including their academic records, recommendation from a high school principal and SAT scores that are consistent with their PSAT performance.

The Lebo winners are: Megan Bone, Kishore Jayakumar, Alyssa Lloyd, Anne McGinty, John McGinty, Michael Muehl, Danielle Nathanson and Ryan Pollock.
