CSW Seniors Commended in National Merit Scholarship Program

Five students at the Cambridge School of Weston received special recognition from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for their achievement on the PSATs.

Chace Nolen '10, Noah Schonfeld '10, Eric Simpson '10, and Emma Ward '10 were named Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.  Max Rollins '10 was named an Outstanding Participant Referred to Colleges in the National Achievement Scholarship Program, an academic competition for outstanding black high school students. 

Jane Moulding, head of school, made the announcement and handed out the letters of commendation at assembly last Monday morning.

Chace, Noah, Eric, and Emma placed among the top five percent of the more than 1.5 million students who took the test. Max is one of the approximately 3,100 students who will be referred to the 1,500 colleges in the country.

The students qualified for the scholarship program by taking the Preliminary SATs, the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship program, during the fall of their junior year. Black students can qualify for recognition and be honored as scholars in both the National Merit Program and the National Achievement Program, but can receive only one scholarship award.
