| JHS senior named National Merit Scholarship semifinalist |
Noah Chotrow, a senior at Joplin High School, has been named a semifinalist in the 61st annual National Merit Scholarship Program. He is among 16,000 academically talented high school seniors recognized with this honor. The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors.
Chotrow will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,400 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million that will be offered next spring. From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the finalist level, and in February, they will be notified of this designation. Merit scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
