Monroe-Woodbury High School senior Advay Aravind has been named a Semifinalist in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship® Program. He is among the more than 16,000 academically talented Semifinalists from throughout the country who will compete for about 6,700 National Merit Scholarships offered next spring worth more than $24 million.
To be considered for a Merit Scholarship® award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.
Good luck, Advay!
