30 Wayzata High School students have been named semifinalists in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program.
High school juniors entered the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of 16,000 Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. About 15,000 of these semifinalists are expected to advance to the finalist level in February. National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from the group of finalists beginning in April.
