JHS Senior Named Finalist in National Achievement Scholarship Program

JHS senior Steffan Triplett has advanced to Finalist standing in the 46th annual National Achievement Scholarship Program. Triplet was selected as a Semifinalist last fall.

Approximately 1,300 Black American high school seniors have been designated as Finalists. These scholastically talented high school seniors will have the opportunity to continue in the competition for approximately 800 Achievement Scholarship awards, worth some $2.6 million, that will be offered in the spring.

All Achievement Scholar awardees will be selected from the Finalist group on the basis of their abilities, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.

The National Achievement Scholarship Program, conducted by NMSC, is a privately financed academic competition that operates without government assistance. It was initiated in 1964 to recognize academically promising black students throughout the nation and to provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding program participants. To date, over 29,500 young men and women have received Achievement Scholarship awards worth $94 million.
