Nicolet senior Victoria Jewell has been selected as a winner of the National Merit Scholarship 🎉
Among all students who entered the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program, only about 16,000 were named Semifinalists. They were designated on a state representational basis, in proportion to each state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors. In order to advance in the competition and be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, a Semifinalist had to become a Finalist by fulfilling several requirements that included submitting a detailed scholarship application and presenting a record of very high academic performance. All winners of about 6,870 National Merit Scholarships are being chosen from the group of more than 15,000 distinguished Finalists.
Congratulations Victoria for being recognized as a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship Winner. The entire Nicolet Community is thrilled for Victoria’s accomplishment‼
