National Merit shares 2nd group of winners

Thirteen recently graduated Arkansas high school students from the Class of 2022 are among 1,200 additional winners of National Merit Scholarships financed by U.S. Colleges and universities.

They join 47 Arkansans and more than 2,600 nationally who were announced in June as recipients for college-sponsored award recipients.

The awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship.

This announcement is the fourth made by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. The organization named recipients of corporate-sponsored awards in April, winners of National Merit $2,500 Scholarships in May and the first group of college-sponsored awardees in June.
