    By Messaging and Marketing on October 10, 2014 Headlines

    Students from several Dallas Independent School District schools have recently been named among some of the most prestigious scholars in the country. The honors include National Merit, National Achievement and Texas AP State Scholar acknowledgements.

    National Merit Scholar Program
    Students are recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program after taking the previous year’s Preliminary National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which serves as an initial screen of program applicants. To become a finalist, each semifinalist must submit a detailed scholarship application, have an outstanding academic record and submit endorsement letters written on their behalf. National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from this group of finalists based on their skills, accomplishments and potential for success in rigorous college studies.

    National Achievement Scholarship Program

    The National Achievement Scholarship Program names academically talented African American students across the country. Semifinalists are designated within geographic regions and are the highest-scoring program entrants in the states that comprise each region. To advance to the finalist level in the competition, each semifinalist must submit a detailed scholarship application, evidence of participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership, employment and honors and awards received and letters of endorsement. Applicants must also have high academic performance and SAT scores that confirm their PSAT or National Merit Scholar Qualifying Test performance.
