HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of over 16,000 semifinalists in the 71st annual National Merit Scholarship Program on Wednesday, including 187 from high schools in the Hudson Valley.
These high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,930 National Merit Scholarships worth $26 million that will be offered next spring.
About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and about half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
