senior named National Merit Scholarship finalist
Feb. 26, 2009
Congratulations to Mohonasen High School senior Joshua Bradt, who was recently named a finalist in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship (NMS) Program.
Josh competed against a field of 16,000 students nationwide for some 8,200 National Merit Scholarships.
More than 1.5 million juniors in approximately 21,000 high schools entered this year's National Merit Program by taking the 2007 preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). To become a finalist, a semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying test. Semifinalists must also submit a detailed application and essay outlining their participation and leadership in school and community activities.
