These academically talented seniors have an opportunity to continue in the scholarship competition for one of the 7,250 National Merit Scholarships that total almost $28 million. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, students must score high enough on the October PSAT/NMSQT that they take in their Junior year. Semifinalists are the highest scoring entrants in each state and represent less than the top 1% of each state’s high school seniors. Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School is proud to have not one, but two of this year’s semifinalists. Congratulations to both Isaiah Rogotzke and Isaiah Carlovsky on this impressive achievement.
