FISD Graduates Most National Merit Scholars in Texas
The Class of 2022 included 73 FISD National Merit Scholars who received college-sponsored, corporate-sponsored and National Merit Scholarship Corporation scholarships. Frisco ISD graduated more National Merit Scholars than any other school district in Texas.
This past spring, the NMSC announced the 2022 National Merit $2,500 Scholarship winners and corporate-sponsored scholarship winners, which included 28 students. Read more about it.
Recently, the NMSC revealed the students who were awarded college-sponsored scholarships from the college they plan to attend. This year, that includes 45 FISD National Merit Scholars who will receive scholarships during their four years of undergraduate study.
The journey for all 73 of these incredible National Merit Scholars began in 2020 when they took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen of program entrants.
In Frisco ISD, the PSAT/NMSQT is offered during the school day each fall at no cost to all 10th and 11th grade Frisco ISD students.
The highest-scoring students on the PSAT/NMSQT were invited to continue their quest to become Merit Scholars by submitting an application with an essay, recommendation letter, academic record and leadership contributions to the campus and community.
Congratulations to these students who are not only accomplished academics, but also renowned musicians, actors, athletes and community activists. Great things are in store for these young adults! To see the full list of students click here:
