2025 National Merit® Semifinalists and Commended
PVSchools wants to congratulate the following seniors who were either named the 2025 National Merit® Semifinalists or Commended honorees. This year PVSchools has 14 Semifinalists and 34 Commended students recognized as top performers on their PSAT/NMSQT.
Semifinalists are the highest-scoring students in each state. To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, Semifinalists must advance to Finalist standing in the competition by meeting high academic standards and all requirements provided to them.
To make it this far is a significant accomplishment, and we couldn't be more proud of all of our students! Semifinalists will be notified in February 2025 whether or not they will advance to Finalist standing.
