Three Seniors Named National Merit Finalists

All three of FWCD’s National Merit Semifinalists are now National Merit Finalists. Seniors Joaquin Castro-Balbi, Izzy Gutierrez, and Michelle Pham will continue on in the scholarship program for National Merit Scholar consideration. The selection of some 7,500 Merit Scholarship winners from the group of Finalists is now in progress.

Three types of awards, the National Merit $2,500 Scholarship, the Corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship, and the College-sponsored Merit Scholarship, are underwritten by approximately 420 independent sponsor organizations as well as by NMSC with their own funds. Merit Scholar designees are selected based on their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
