Four students from local high schools have been selected as National Merit Finalists out of a pool of 15,000 students nationwide.
Lauren Sisk and Walter Kunnmann from University Heights Academy, Brock Sharp from Fort Campbell High School, and Grasen Givens from Hopkinsville High School were announced as finalists based on scores, academic and extracurricular records, recommendations, and essays.
National Merit Finalists are judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
Finalists receive either a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship or a merit scholarship sponsored by a college or corporation.
