Four students at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts have been named National Merit Scholarship Finalists.
The National Merit Scholarship Corp. recently announced the names of Finalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. The students, all members of the Class of 2025, will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million.
The ASMSA seniors named Finalists are:
- Eva Cummings of Fayetteville;
- Evan Fowlkes of Mountain View;
- Madeline Liachenko of Benton; and
- Kalyn You of Everton.
To be considered for the National Merit Scholarship Program, students take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as a junior. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments and potential for success in rigorous college studies. The National Merit Scholarship Corp. is a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance. It was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program.
National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced in batches beginning in late Spring 2025 and early summer 2025.
