Seniors Qualify as National Merit Scholarship Finalists

Last week, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced the names of the finalists in the 62nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. All 26 Regis seniors who qualified as semifinalists have now qualified for the recognition as a finalist. They now continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships that will be offered this spring.

NMSC, a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 420 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC's goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.

Congratulations to our Regis class of 2017 National Merit finalists:
