Students Recognized in National Merit Scholarship Program
Westminster School Sixth Former Emmett de Kanter was named a Semifinalist in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. He is among approximately 16,000 academically talented high school seniors to have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships that will be awarded next spring.
More than 1.6 million juniors in about 22,000 high schools entered the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
Emmett is a day student from Simsbury who has taken a rigorous course of study and earned high honors during his Westminster career. He serves as junior prefect, is co-head of Global Forum and is the recipient of the Wilbraham Bowl. He holds the school record for the 5K and 3K in cross country and track, and is the captain of the cross country, swimming and track teams.
To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. National Merit Scholarship winners of 2019 will be announced beginning next April and concluding in July.
In addition, about 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation were recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Among those are Sixth Formers Alexandra Lin, Henry Mitrano, Reese Poe and Vincent Wang.
