We are incredibly proud to announce that several of our very own LAMP High School students have been named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists! This prestigious honor recognizes their exceptional academic achievements, leadership, and dedication to their community.
The National Merit Scholarship Program is a highly competitive competition, with over 1.3 million juniors from across the country participating. Our LAMP Semifinalists are among the top 1% of scorers nationwide, demonstrating their incredible potential and commitment to excellence. Students are now eligible to compete for one of 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be awarded next spring.
Their journey to this point began with the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), a rigorous test that serves as the initial step in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
MPS extends our heartfelt congratulations to our scholars! We are incredibly proud of their dedication and the bright futures that await them. Their accomplishments are a source of inspiration for all students within the district. As they embark on this exciting next chapter, we wish them the very best of luck in their pursuit of these coveted scholarships.
