National Merit Finalist

ETS is pleased to recognize its first National Merit Finalist, Michael Wassall. Michael was one of over 1.5 million juniors who took the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in 2008. On September 16th, officials of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of 16,000 semifinalists in this year's program.

Out of 8,000 Oklahoma juniors only 190 met the requirements to be named as a semifinalist. Now, as a finalist, Michael has the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,200 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $36 million.
