Ranney Seniors Honored by 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program

It was announced that Karan Patnaik ’24 has advanced as a 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalist and seniors Jared Gizersky ‘24, Kevin Mortenson ‘24, Riya Sikand ‘24, and Junran Zhao ‘24 have been recognized as Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
 
Karan has an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,140 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $28 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship® award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title.
 
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2024 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2024 competition by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). 
 
"Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."
