Two Smithtown Semifinalists Named in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program

Diane Cho and Mitchell Feinberg, Smithtown High School East seniors, have each been distinguished as a Semifinalist in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program. They scored in the top one percent of students throughout the country who took the 2007 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

Semifinalists who meet academic and other requirements will advance to Finalist standing. Merit Scholarship recipients will be chosen from the group of Finalists based on their abilities, skills and accomplishments. This distinction is one of the highest academic honors that students can earn.
