Semifinalists in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program
SJ23 is pleased to announce Giovanni Hoang and Sophia Phalen as Semifinalists for the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. Congratulations!
This week officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of over 16,000 Semifinalists in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $24 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
