November 22, 2024 - This year marks the 70th Annual National Merit Scholarship Program recognizing students based on their performance on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying exam. This year, three Comal ISD students have been named National Merit Semifinalists, and 12 have been named National Merit Commended Scholars.
This year’s semifinalists include Marc Mora from Canyon High School, Gabriel Gilbert-Deveraux and Logan Walker from Pieper High School.
These students are academically talented high school seniors who now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered this spring.
In addition to these three students recognized as semifinalists, 12 Comal ISD students were recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program as Commended Scholars. They are among the top two-thirds (about 34,000) of the high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQ exam.
In recognition of their outstanding ability and potential for academic success in college, some of these candidates may be offered Special Scholarships by corporate sponsors.
