Twenty MCPS students from eight high schools have been awarded National Merit corporate-sponsored scholarships financed by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The students are part of a group of more than 1,000 National Merit finalists chosen to receive scholarships financed by about 136 corporations, company foundations and other business organizations.

The students are among 28 high school seniors in Maryland to be selected in the latest group of National Merit Scholarship Program recipients. The scholars were selected from a pool of more than 16,000 students, and will receive awards between $1,000 and $10,000 for post-secondary education.
