Twenty-three PVSchools high school students qualified as 2026 National Merit Semifinalists. Semifinalists are the highest-scoring entrants in each state. This is a significant accomplishment, and we couldn't be more proud of them!
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 each Semifinalist. In the spring, more than 16,000 Semifinalists will be notified whether or not they will advance to Finalist standing.
