The National Merit Scholarship Competition presented three seniors at Aquinas Academy of Pittsburgh in Hampton with letters of commendation for their performance in the 2024 competition.
Anne Marie Austin, Benjamin Everson and Chase Harrison rank among approximately 34,000 commended students nationwide who are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.
Although commended students will not continue in the competition for National Merit scholarships, some may be candidates for special scholarships provided by corporate and business sponsors.
Commended students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2024 competition by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) in their junior year of high school.
