National Merit Semifinalists - Former AC Students Named!



The 2012 Semifinalists have been announced and Whitney Young is proud to announce that we had 19 students achieve National Merit Semifinalist status - the most from any Illinois public school! Further, 17 of the 19 Semifinalists are former Academic Center students from the class of 2008! Congratulations to all Semifinalists!

The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)–a test which serves as an initial screen of more than 1.5 million entrants each year–and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements.
