The National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced today the names of Commended Students in the 2017 program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporate (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented to each of the talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Commended Students placed among the top five percent of the more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2017 competition.
"The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."
