Michael McKenzie and Jarrell Skinner-Roy are designated semifinalists in the 43rd annual awards competition, which makes them eligible to compete for about 800 scholarship awards worth a total of about $2.5 million. The National Achievement program is conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and was initiated in 1964 to honor academically promising black youths. Congratulations, Michael and Jarell! Posted by Laurie Frost at October 3, 2006 2:04 PMSubscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: Newsletter signup | Send us your ideas |
