Two Badger High School students have advanced as finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program and will be considered for National Merit Scholarships to be offered in 2023. Joshua Schooley and Erin Hensler each receive a Certificate of Merit from The National Merit Scholarship Program for this achievement.
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. Each year, high school students enter the program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). All finalists are considered for National Merit Scholarship Awards to be offered in 2023.
Schooley and Hensler are two of approximately 16,000 high school seniors that qualified as semifinalists in the fall.
National Merit Scholarship winners of 2023 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and concluding in July. These scholarship recipients will join nearly 368,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title.
