Fifty-nine members of the Frisco ISD Class of 2024 were honored as National Merit Scholars by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
In the spring of this year, 32 Frisco ISD students received either National Merit $2,500 scholarships or corporate-sponsored scholarships.
This summer, 27 additional Frisco ISD students were named National Merit college-sponsored scholarship winners. These awards offer between $500 and $2,000 annually, supporting up to four years of undergraduate study at the college the student will attend this fall.
The National Merit Scholarship Program for this year commenced in October 2022 when juniors took the Preliminary SAT (PSAT) as an initial qualifier for this distinction. Frisco ISD offers the PSAT every fall to all 10th and 11th-grade students during the school day.
