Scholarship Program. Last fall, roughly 1.6 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools across the country entered the 2017 program by taking the PSAT/NMSQT Qualifying Test. Of those juniors, only 16,000, less than 1%, are named National Merit Semifinalists, based on their scores on this exam. These academically talented students are now eligible to seek Finalist standing, moving one step further in the competition for some 7,500 scholarships worth about $33 million that will be offered in the spring of 2017. Nationwide, about half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar? title. An additional 34,000 high performers on the PSAT exam are named Commended Students. Aidan Donaghy is the son of Barri and Betsy Donaghy, members of Blessed Sacrament parish. He attended St. Paul grade school. Mark Briede is the son of Steve and Meredith Briede, members of St. Joseph parish (Crescent Springs). He attended St. Joseph grade school. Covington Catholic High School is college preparatory high school within the Diocese of Covington. It is an all-male school of 597 whose mission is to embrace the Gospel message of Jesus Christ in order to educate students spiritually, academically, physically and socially.
