The Ann Arbor Public Schools congratulates 52 students who have been named Semi-Finalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program.
This year, AAPS accounts for 11% of the approximately 475 students in Michigan selected for this honor.
To become a Finalist, the Semi-Finalist and his or her high school must submit a detailed scholarship application. They provide information about the academic record of the Semi-Finalist, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment and honors and awards received. A Semi-Finalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test.
