Michael Dieffenbach, a senior at WVL, has been named as a finalist in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Competition! The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test–a test which serves as an initial screen of more than 1.5 million entrants each year–and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements.
Of the 1.5 million entrants, some 50,000 with the highest PSAT/NMSQT® Selection Index scores (critical reading + mathematics + writing skills scores) qualify for recognition in the National Merit® Scholarship Program. Finalists are evaluated on: their academic record, information about the school's curricula and grading system, two sets of test scores, the high school official's written recommendation, information about the student's activities and leadership, and the Finalist's own essay. All winners of Merit Scholarship® awards are chosen from the Finalist group, based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. Michael will be notified this spring about which Merit Scholarship Awards he will receive.
Congratulations Michael! WVL wishes you well as you continue your journey to becoming a National Merit Scholarship winner!
