Monroe-Woodbury High School senior Prasad Saha has been named a Semifinalist in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship® Program. They are among the 16,000 academically talented Semifinalists from throughout the country who will compete for 6,930 National Merit Scholarships offered next spring worth more than $26 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 about half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.
Good luck, Prasad!
