Ten Roslyn High School students from the Class of 2019 have advanced to become finalists after having been named semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship program last September.

These students are among 15,000 nationwide to be named finalists, representing less than one percent of high school seniors in the United States. About 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 U.S. high schools entered the 2019 National Merit Program by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). These scholastically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,400 Merit Scholarship awards that will be awarded this spring to students across the country.
