Two Roslyn High School students from the Class of 2018 have advanced to become finalists in the National Merit Scholarship program. Ella Eisenberg and Stephanie Tom were honored by the Roslyn Board of Education at its March 8 meeting.

These students are among 15,000 nationwide to be named finalists, representing less than one percent of high school seniors in the United States.

About 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 U.S. high schools entered the 2018 National Merit Program by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

These scholastically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,400 Merit Scholarship awards that will be awarded this spring to students across the country.
