The National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists in Georgia have been named for 2016.
These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to
continue in the competition for some 7,400 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32
million that will be offered next spring. About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and about half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship.
These are the semifinalists from metro Atlanta.
