Congratulations to Cole Crace for being named a 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program Finalist! This advancement from a semi-finalist places Cole, a senior at Simpson Academy, in a group of more than 15,000 students, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school graduating seniors.
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition among high school students for recognition and college scholarships that began in 1955. The program is conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance. United States high school students enter the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which serves as an initial screen of over 1.3 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.
