The National Merit Scholarship Program is a privately financed academic competition that began in 1955. High school students are eligible for the Merit Program by taking the PSAT/NMSQT, a test taken by more than 1.5 million entrants each year, with just over 8,000 selected as National Merit Finalists.
The district also had two students named National Achievement Scholarship Finalists. They are: Jennah Jones, East Chapel Hill HS and Amon Williams, Carrboro HS.
The National Achievement Scholarship was established in 1964 to recognize outstanding Black American high school students. Finalists are selected based on their abilities, skills and accomplishments. Only 800 Finalists are selected from the more than 160,000 students who enter based on information supplied on their PSAT/NMSQT.
