Congratulations to Matthew Hseieh, Brady Kong, Henry Kong, Zayaan Mahmood and Caleb Whang for receiving recognition as Commended Students through the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. This means that they scored in the top 50,000 of roughly 1.3 million students throughout the nation!

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition among high school students for recognition and college undergraduate scholarships that began in 1955. The program is conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance. United States high school students enter the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which serves as an initial screen of over 1.3 million entrants each year, and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.

Stay tuned next week for our 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program Semi Finalists!
