Congratulations to Episcopal’s National Merit Scholarship Finalists! All four of Episcopal’s National Merit Scholarship semifinalists were named finalists. Seniors Stella Herford, Chloe Korn, Grady Noles, and Liam Wong earned this honor through the National Merit Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements. More than 1.3 million juniors from about 20,000 high schools entered the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program.
