Roeper Seniors, Rose Li and Christopher Mojares were selected as semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship awards competition for 2022. This is no small feat!
Students selected as Semifinalists scored in the top 5% in the nation on the PSAT. Chris and Rose are in the top third of that 5%. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state. To continue, semifinalists must advance to Finalist standing in the competition by meeting high academic standards in addition to other requirements which they will find out in February. Finalists then need to fill out their final scholarship application. They will know whether or not they qualified for prize money between April and July.
Congratulations to Rose and Chris! We wish you luck as you continue in this process!
