Ossining students qualify for National Merit Scholarship competition

May

Nine Ossining High School students were recently notified by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation that they have qualified for the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program. They are among 50,000 students in the U.S. who scored high enough on the 2007 PSAT National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test to compete for National Merit Scholarships next year. More than 1.5 million high school students took the PSAT qualifying test.

Augustus Boehling, Sabina DeMatteo, Oliver Donson, Talia Fox, Samuel Gissen, Molly Plotkin, Ilana Rice, Gregory Robins, and Corey Rogers will be notified of their status in September: 16,000 students will be named Semifinalists; 34,000 will be recognized as Commended students. Semifinalists have the opportunity to compete for 8,200 Merit Scholarship awards that will be offered during the students’ senior year in 2009.
