Five High School Students Named National Merit Semifinalists

Mt. Lebanon School District is proud to announce five students who have been recognized as Semifinalists in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Approximately 16,000 students across the country were named Semifinalists and have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth approximately $24 million that will be offered next spring. 

MTLSD National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalists are: Matthew Burton, Joseph Curran, Eve Magleby-Lambert, Hannah Markowitz, and Allie Miller.

To compete for National Merit Scholarships, Semifinalists must advance to the Finalist level of the competition by fulfilling several additional requirements. A Semifinalist can become a Finalist and compete for a Merit Scholarship award in only one program year.  About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
