National Merit Semifinalist Named for the 2010 Merit Scholarship Competition

Broomfield High School is pleased to announce that Trent Jarvis is a National Merit Semifinalist.

More than one million juniors in the nation took the qualifying exam, PSAT, in the fall of their junior year. Only 16,000 were selected to become semi-finalists of which 15,000 will become National Merit Finalists. All National Merit Finalists have an opportunity to be awarded a scholarship of $2,500, and depending upon the sponsoring corporation, Finalists may receive up to a full scholarship. Additionally, many colleges and universities actively recruit Finalists for their schools by offering them additional scholarships. The students and the school will be notified by mid-February of their selection as a National Merit Finalist.

In addition, the following four Broomfield High students have been named Commended Students: Benjamin Elliott, Morgan Gianola, Lynette Naler, and Jeremy Soller.

Based on their PAST scores last October, these students are among approximately 34,000 Commended students throughout the nation. Although they will not continue in the 2010 competition for National Merit Scholarships, they are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

Congratulations to all!
