Nineteen Seniors Named National Merit Semifinalists

Punahou School is proud to celebrate our seniors named as National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalists this year. Their academic excellence places them among the top 1% of high school students nationwide.

Selected from a pool of more than 1.3 million entrants, semifinalists are recognized for their exceptional performance on the PSAT/NMSQT. They now advance to the next stage of the competition, where they have the opportunity to earn one of 6,930 National Merit Scholarships totaling nearly $26 million.

We congratulate our Punahou semifinalists for their hard work, dedication and remarkable achievement on this national stage.
