2019 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist at Fordham Prep
Fordham Prep is proud to announce that Lucas Chu ’19
has been recognized as a semifinalist in the National Merit
Scholarship Program. Semifinalists have the opportunity
to win one of the 7,500 National Merit Scholarships next
spring. Over 1.6 million juniors entered the competition;
successful semifinalists represent less than 1% of US high
school seniors. To become a finalist, a semifinalist’s school
must submit a detailed scholarship application, including
information about his academic record, participation in
school and community activities, leadership abilities,
employment, and honors and awards received. The
Semifinalist must be recommended by his school, write an
essay and earn SAT scores that confirm his performance
on the qualifying test. National Merit Scholarship winners
will be announced from April through July.
