The National Merit Scholarship program is a nationwide competition for recognition and awards conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation. By taking the PSAT in October of 2023, students are automatically entered for consideration. Just a small fraction of high school students—some 34,000—across the country are awarded the distinction of Commended Student, while only about 16,000 are awarded Semifinalist. Semifinalists are eligible to continue in the competition, with the chance to receive scholarships to use towards higher education.
St. John's is so proud of these 13 Eagles and all they've accomplished in their academic careers thus far!
