Two seniors at Clarksville Academy, Cheyenne Deibert and Christy Zheng, have been named Semifinalists and will compete in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Another senior, Tabitha Lee, has been named as a Commended Student and will receive a Letter of Commendation. These students qualified through Clarksville Academy’s offering of the October 2017 PSAT.

These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring.

NMSC, a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 410 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.
