Twenty-three Jeffco Public Schools students were named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists for the 2018-19 school year.
Each year, the National Merit Scholarship Program recognizes approximately 16,000 students from a pool of 1.6 million students as National Merit Scholarship semifinalists. This group of students is chosen from approximately 50,000 Commended Students, roughly 3 percent of all eligible students. The semifinalists are invited to submit an application to earn finalist status. Finalists are eligible to receive a variety of academic awards/scholarships.
