The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has announced the Semifinalists in the 57^th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.  Coronado seniors Matt Hansen and Lara Fly were among approximately 16,000 other students nationwide to receive this great honor.

Both students earned qualifying scores on the PSAT that ranked them in the top 1% nationally, making them eligible to become National Merit Finalists. The Texas qualifying score, which increased four points from last year, was 219.

To become Finalists, Hansen and Fly must now submit a completed application with a self-descriptive essay, continue with outstanding grades in their high school classes, be recommended by their high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm PSAT performance.

Three types of National Merit Scholarships will be offered this spring.  Every Finalist will compete for a $ Scholarship.  In addition, Finalists may qualify for corporate and college sponsored awards.

All of Coronado is teeming with pride for these two students, and wish them luck in achieving the ultimate title of Finalist.
