Seven Willowbrook seniors named Commended Students in 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program

Willowbrook seniors Ebad Hussaini, Noah Kamm, Quinn Nolan, Ethan Rojek, Jared Schneider, Syeda Shah and Carl Tankersley have been named as Commended Students in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program, conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Those students received that honor based on their performance on the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). According to www.nationalmerit.org, “…more than two-thirds (about 34,000) of the nearly 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT® receive Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise.”

Although Commended Students do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some of the students do become candidates for Special Scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
