The Spring-Ford Area School District has announced that eight Spring-Ford Area High School students have been recognized as National Merit Scholarship Program Finalists.
Congratulations to Aleena Ataher, Harish Bayana, Siddhant Chavan, Deepak Kejariwal, Ryan Pierce, Aryan Singh, Samuel Thomas and Nicholas Tufillaro!
"Earlier this year we announced that these ‘elite eight’ were semifinalists, and now they've moved on as a group of eight as finalists," said Spring-Ford Area High School Principal Dr. Patrick Nugent. “This is by far the largest number of Spring-Ford students who have advanced to Finalists.”
These eight students joined more than 1.5 million students in nearly 21,000 high schools to enter the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT (PSAT) qualifying test in the fall of 2018.

The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
Qualifying scores vary from state to state and from year to year, but the scores of all semifinalists are extremely high. More than 15,000 students advanced to finalist standing this month.
All finalists will now be in the running for National Merit Scholarships.
