We are proud to announce that five Yorktown High School seniors — Akhil Bollimpalli, Jashvi Desai, Jack Falk, Siddharth Nair, and Connor Ropke — have been named semifinalists in the prestigious 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program!
This honor places them among the top 1% of high school seniors nationwide. Out of more than 1.3 million juniors who took the 2024 PSAT/NMSQT, only about 16,000 students earned this distinction.
Semifinalists now move forward in the competition for nearly $26 million in scholarships that will be awarded in the spring. About 95% are expected to advance to Finalist standing, with roughly half earning the title of National Merit Scholar.
Congratulations, Akhil, Jashvi, Jack, Siddharth, and Connor!
