Five Alvin ISD high school students have been named National Merit Finalists.
"Being named a National Merit Finalist will open many doors for these students, and I am so proud of them," said Alvin ISD Superintendent Carol Nelson. "While this type of honor is given at the high school level, we know it’s the instructional excellence of teachers and staff at all grade levels that help make these individual student achievements possible. Our National Merit Finalists are another example of the exceptional work taking place in our schools."
Students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Around 15,000 finalists were selected from the Semifinalists named in September.
As finalists, students will be in the running for Merit Scholarships. Those scholarships will be awarded beginning in March and continuing through June.
