These distinguished students were selected from a highly competitive pool of finalists nationwide. The National Merit Scholarships are awarded to finalists who demonstrate the strongest combination of academic accomplishments, skills and potential for success in demanding college studies. The scholarships can be used at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university.
To reach this outstanding milestone scholars first dominated on the PSAT/NMSQT in their junior year, which placed them among the top scorers in the nation. They then advanced through the rigorous finalist selection process, which included submitting a detailed application, an essay and their academic records.
This prestigious recognition underscores the high caliber of students and the quality of education provided within Broward County Public Schools.
The College-sponsored Merit Scholarship winners will be named on June 4 and July 14, 2025.
