Parker Students National Merit Scholarship FinalistsParker Students National Merit Scholarship Finalists
Parker School is proud to announce that seniors Paul Gregg and Aidan Wharton have advanced as finalists for a National Merit Scholarship Award.

In September, Gregg and Wharton were notified that each was one of about 16,000 national semi-finalists out of the 50,000 highest scorers of approximately 1.5 million high school students who took the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) last year. Now they have advanced to a group of about 15,000 finalists.
Gregg and Wharton will find out in March if they are among approximately 8,300 National Merit Scholarship Award winners. The awards range from a $2500 lump sum scholarship, to corporate-sponsored and college-sponsored scholarships.
Last year, Parker’s Kieran Najita was a Merit Scholarship Award winner. In the last three years, Parker has had six of the ten total Big Island finalists.
