Two Students Named National Merit Semi-Finalists


The Donoho School is proud to announce that seniors Vinay Giri and Tate Thomas have been named National Merit Semi-finalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition for recognition and scholarships that is open to all United States high school students who meet published entry requirements. The program is conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation, a not-for-profit organization established in 1955 that operates without government assistance. Semifinalists named in each year's Merit Scholarship competition show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Those who meet requirements to advance to the Finalist level compete for National Merit Scholarships supported by independent sponsor organizations and by National Merit Scholarship Corporation's own funds.

About 1.5 million students in some 22,000 high schools entered the 2012 National Merit Scholarship program by taking the 2010 Preliminary SAT (PSAT). The 16,000 Semifinalists that were announced on September 14, 2011, are the highest-scoring entrants in each state and represent less that 1 percent of each state's high school seniors. They are the only participants who qualify to continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships to be awarded in the spring of 2012. Most Semifinalists are currently twelfth graders who will enter college in the fall of 2012.

Congratulations Vinay and Tate!
