Seniors Named Semifinalists in National Merit Scholarship Program

Congratulations to the 10 Greenhill seniors who were named semifinalists in the 71st annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Earlier this month, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of more than 16,000 Semifinalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,930 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring.

Ten Greenhill seniors received this distinct honor:

  • Maya Jagsi ’26
  • Rachel Jiang ’26
  • Aaron Kuang ’26
  • Rory Liu ’26
  • Dylan Millimet ’26
  • Shriya Nadagouda ’26
  • Ella Sadka ’26
  • Eadric Stone ’26
  • Lucas Wang ’26
  • Justin Wu ’26

To compete for National Merit Scholarships, Semifinalists must advance to the Finalist level of the competition by fulfilling several additional requirements. A Semifinalist can become a Finalist and compete for a Merit Scholarship award in only one program year. 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.

Congratulations to these students!
