Coram Deo Academy Students Advance in the 2012 National Merit® Scholarship Program
Each CDA graduating class for the last three years has had two National Merit Finalists and at least three Commended Students. Recent announcements from this prestigious scholarship competition indicate that this tradition may continue.
National Merit Semifinalists
In early September, about 16,000 students nationwide, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high-scorers, are notified that they have qualified as Semifinalists. To be considered for a National Merit® Scholarship, Semifinalists must meet high academic standards and all other requirements for Finalists. Coram Deo Academy is pleased to announce that two students have been named semifinalists in the 2012 competition.
National Merit Commended Students
Two additional CDA students have received Letters of Commendation. In late September, more than two-thirds (about 34,000) of the approximately 50,000 high scorers on PSAT/NMSQT® receive this distinction in recognition of their outstanding academic promise.
National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP)
The National Hispanic Recognition Program was initiated in 1983 to identify outstanding Hispanic/Latino high school students and to share information about them with interested colleges and universities. CDA is honored to have a Hispanic Scholar for the second year in a row.
