Gabrielle Kim '20 Receives Prestigious National Merit Recognition
We are thrilled to announce that Gabrielle Kim '20 has been named a Semifinalist in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) Program.
With this honor, Gabrielle now has the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit® Scholarships worth nearly $32 million that will be offered next spring.
Gabrielle competed with 1.6 million students from 22,000 high schools nationwide who took the PSAT/NMSQT®, the initial screen for National Merit Semifinalists. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state.
In making the announcement, Principal Jeff Sutliff congratulated Gabrielle on her incredible milestone: "Although testing is only one part of the larger educational equation at Saint Joseph Academy, the PSAT/NMSQT is known for showcasing the best and brightest in our country. This recognition will help broaden Gabrielle's educational opportunities and we are very proud of all she has accomplished." Click here to read more about her accomplishments.
