About 34,000 students throughout the world will be recognized this year for their exceptional academic promise. Although Nolan will not continue in the 2022 competition for National Merit Scholarship Awards, he places among the top 2% of the more than 1.85 million students who entered the competition by taking the 2020 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” a spokesperson for NMSC said. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
