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 2018. Carson Derda and Connor Duggan 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. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)—which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.6 million entrants each year—and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.
The duo will learn if they make the cut to win National Merit® Scholarships between April and July of 2018.
