WHS senior Oscar Lavergne selected as National Merit Scholarship finalist

Wenatchee High School senior Oscar Lavergne is among the 16,000 semi-finalists announced by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) this week. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,250 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $28  million that will be offered next spring.  To become a Finalist, the Semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the Semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. A Semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT® or ACT® scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test.
