Airline High School student Erin Bullock has been named a National Merit Scholarship winner. She is the only Bossier student to win a $2,500 scholarship this year.
The 2,500 Merit Scholar designees were chosen from a talent pool of more than 15,000 outstanding Finalists in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program.
National Merit $2500 Scholarship winners are the Finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. The number of winners named in each state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the nation’s graduating high school seniors.
These Scholars were selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors, who appraised a substantial amount of information submitted by both the Finalists and their high schools: the academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay written by the Finalist; and a recommendation written by a high school official.
Proud of your girl, Jennifer Dunbar Bullock!
Thank you. ? She is having one heck of a senior year! She is supposed to be playing the drums on Sunday before or during the senior recognition video. Look for her if you are there.
