Mount Rainier senior Harrison Wray has been named a National Merit Semi-finalist. Selection of semi-finalists is based on scores earned on the PSAT exam taken during students’ junior year of high school. Semi-finalists scored in the top one percent of students taking the test nationally. Only 15,000 students nationwide achieve this honor.

As a semi-finalist, Wray is eligible to compete for finalist status and higher honors, which include a one-time scholarship of $2,500 from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, a National Merit Scholarship from a participating corporation, or a National Merit Scholarship from a participating college, which is renewable for up to four years.

Congratulations, Harrison!
