Nearly 1,140 Bay Area students made the list.
Nearly 1,140 Bay Area students have been recognized as semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program — a countrywide competition among high school seniors. These students are among 16,000 semifinalists across the nation — less than 1% of the nation’s high school seniors — who will now be considered for around 7,140 scholarships worth nearly $28 million next spring.
It’s the third-to-last step in the process. About 95% of semifinalists are expected to to be named finalists, and approximately half of those finalists will earn a scholarship. Over 1.3 million high school juniors in 21,000 high schools entered the competition through the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or PSAT, which serves as the initial screening of program entrants. The semifinalists announced this week include the highest-scoring students in each state.
