Liana Shallenberg selected as Finalist in National Merit Scholarship Competition

2015 Mar 10

Liana is one of three seniors from LFA to have been selected as a Finalist from a pool of 16,000 Semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition. The competition recognizes academically talented students and offers scholarships to seniors across the nation.

The students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and Semifinalists were chosen in early September of last year. 8,000 winners will be chosen from the 15,000 Finalists in late March based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. The Finalist's academic record, LFA's curriculum, faculty recommendations, and the Finalist's written essay are taken into consideration in the selection process. The final winners will receive scholarship offers in April, May, and July.

John Strudwick, the Head of School, commends Liana on this extraordinary achievement and gives his best wishes to all three seniors for the next phase of the competition.
