Eleven Hawken students have been named semifinalists in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Congratulations go to seniors Ellen Adams, Sarah Allaben, Aryeh Carmi, Anderson Clyde, Molly Emig, Ava Levin, Pheby Liu, Ammar Lone, Hannah Miao, Alexander Shumyatcher, and Kevin Yu.
Thirteen additional students were named Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program: Joshua Caplan, Kareem Danan, Dhweeja Dasarathy, Ozan Ergungor, Bailey Hagedorn, Peter Kaiser, Connor Keuchel, Dana Kulma, Leo Liu, Seysha Mehta, Caroline Tatsuoka, Benjamin Weiss, and Adam Wisnieski.
These 24 students account for 23% of the Class of 2017 and continue a long tradition of Merit Scholar excellence, earning Hawken the distinction of the highest number of National Merit Semifinalists amongst Cleveland area peer schools for the past ten years.
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. This year, about 1.6 million students entered the competition as juniors when they took the Preliminary SAT test. The semifinalists represent an elite group that makes up less than one percent of high school seniors nationally and includes the highest scoring test takers in each state.
