Seniors Joseph McMahon and Razi Marshall were selected as finalists in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program.
McMahon and Marshall were among 16,000 students-a select group that represents less than one percent of high school seniors nationwide who qualified for the scholarship program by scoring amongst the highest in their respective states on the preliminary Standard Achievement Test (SAT).
Marshall and McMahon have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,140 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $28 million that will be offered this 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 of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar Title.
