Bayport-Blue Point High School student George Rogers IV has been recognized as a finalist in the prestigious National Merit Scholarship Program.
Over 1.3 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2023 PSAT or National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test which served as an initial screen of program entrants.
The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors, included the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
As a semifinalist, George fulfilled several additional requirements, which led him to the finalist level of the competition.
As a finalist, he will be considered for a National Merit Scholarship. National Merit Scholarship winners of 2025 will be announced in four nationwide news releases, beginning in April and concluding in July.
