Wilton High School announced that Jeremy T. Brewer, Grace C. Nickel, Daniel J. Xie, and Evaline Xie have been named as National Merit Scholarship Finalists, having met all the requirements to advance in the program.
Over 15,000 Finalists have been identified across the country from the 16,000 students who were named as Semifinalists in September 2014. To become a Finalist, a Semifinalist must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes evidence of an academic record of very high performance, endorsement by the school principal, SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier qualifying test performance, a self-descriptive essay and evidence of the student’s participation and leadership in school and community activities.
These students are now eligible for National Merit Scholarship recognition, which will be awarded in spring 2015.
