Dozens of Katy ISD Students Named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists

Over eighty Katy ISD students have been named 2025 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), out of more than 16,000 students from across the nation.



82 Katy ISD students have advanced as 2025 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®). The semifinalists  will be considered  one of around 6,000 scholarships totaling $26 million.  



 

“We are proud of these students and all that they have accomplished so far in being named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists,” says Ronnie Edwards, Assistant Superintendent for School Leadership & Support. “Every year, we are able to count more Katy ISD students and this year we have nearly 100 students to celebrate.”


In addition to the scholarship, these students are in the running for the coveted designation as a National Merit Finalist. More than 1.3 million juniors across the nation began the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program, taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). From that initial screening, the highest-scoring entrants in each state were chosen, being named Semifinalists.


To become a Finalist, Semifinalists will submit a detailed scholarship application, including their academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and accolades. Students will also submit their SAT or ACT scores and an essay.


Katy ISD’s 2025 Semifinalists will be recognized at a District reception on October 28, 2024.

If you're planning a trip to Greece, be sure to familiarize yourself with some of the specifics of driving in this country. I recently read an article on https://aktis.rent/en/blog/road-peculiarities-in-greece that talks about the key traffic rules that you might need to know during your trip. For example, Greece has left-hand drive, so you should be careful, especially if you are used to right-hand drive. You should also keep in mind the speed limits and parking rules, as it can be difficult in cities. Driving can make your vacation much easier and help you explore more beautiful places!
