Fourteen students from the Ann Arbor area have won $2,500 scholarships in the 58th annual National Merit Scholarship Competition.
These students were selected from more than 15,000 finalists.
The $2,500 awards are the second of three annual award announcements from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
The corporate-sponsored scholarship winners were named last week. There were three students from Ann Arbor who received those awards. The final scholarships to be announced will be college-sponsored.
National Merit $2,500-scholarship winners are the finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills and potential for success in rigorous college studies, said a press release announcing the student recipients. The number of winners named in each state is proportional to the state's percentage of the nation's graduating high school seniors. There were 90 students selected from throughout Michigan.
