2024 NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALIST
In September of 2024 officials of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of more than 16,000 Semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Congratulations to JCCHS senior Will Magruder for being recognized as a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist! Will is the son of Billy and Terri Magruder and attended Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School K-8th grade.
These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95% of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the title of Merit Scholar.
