Seven Center Grove High School seniors were named Semifinalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. They are John Brooks, Andrew Galt, Carina Oza, Stephen Reeves, Prakhar Saxena, Trey Snyder, and Kailyn Spitler. 

 

Approximately 16,000 Semifinalists were chosen from the highest scorers in each state for the 67th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $30 million that will be offered next spring. Approximately 95% of the Semifinalists will attain Finalist standing. 

 

To become a Finalist, the Semifinalists and their high school must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes information about the students' academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received.
