- Share via
Four Ventura County high school students were named recipients of National Merit Scholarships today, bringing this year’s total number of county honorees to 13.
So far, about 3,100 scholarship winners nationwide have been selected. The list will grow to 6,900 by the end of May.
Although 14,000 students this year earned the title of National Merit Scholar, only half will receive scholarships from corporations, colleges and universities, or the National Merit Scholarship Corp.
The title goes to the highest scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test, a college entrance exam. Students are also judged on grades, extracurricular activities and recommendations of school officials.
The names released today include only merit scholars who have received scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corp. Each scholarship is worth $2,000.
The merit scholars are Adam B. Kaplan of Oak Park High School, Daniel S. Malashock of Adolfo Camarillo High School, Terran N. Olson of Villanova Preparatory School in Ojai and Parveen K. Parmar of Buena High School in Ventura.
