What's Happening
Congratulations to Two Seniors
Renzzo Antayhua Tasayco was recognized as a Commended Student as part of the National Merit Scholarship Program.
More than two-thirds (about 34,000) of the high scorers will be designated Commended Students. They will be named on the basis of a nationally applied Selection Index qualifying score that may vary from year to year. In recognition of their outstanding ability and potential for academic success in college, NMSC will honor these students by sending Letters of Commendation to them through their high schools. Although Commended Students will not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some may be candidates for Special Scholarships offered by corporate sponsors.
Ahmad Qudratzai was awarded the 2024 Financial Literacy Ambassador Award.
This unique award recognizes five high school students who have demonstrated exceptional knowledge and passion about personal finance. High school students who passed the Wise Financial Literacy Certification Test with a score of 95% or better are eligible to apply. Applications are reviewed and scored over three rounds by a distinguished panel of judges. View the press release announcing Ahmed's award here.
Congratulations Renzzo and Ahmad!
