Bayport-Blue Point High School senior George Rogers IV on being named a semifinalist in the National Merit Scholarship Program, a prestigious academic honor bestowed on a small percentage of students across the country.
Over 1.3 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2023 PSAT, which served as an initial screen of program
entrants.
George achieved a quite impressive and perfect score of 1520 on his PSAT.
The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1% of United States high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
George will continue in hopes of becoming a finalist and ultimately, a National Merit Scholarship winner. Finalists will be announced in February 2025.
