St. Andrew’s on Wilmington Island is pleased to announce that Taylor Eling and Camille Wixon were selected as National Merit Finalists for 2015.

Each fall over 1.5 million juniors take the PSAT and approximately 50,000 of those students with the highest Selection Index scores qualify for recognition in the National Merit® Scholarship Program. In September of their senior year, these high scorers are notified that they have qualified as a Semifinalist. To advance to the Finalist stage, semi-finalists submit an application and essay, SAT scores, grades and recommendations. A committee from the National Merit Program selects those who qualify as finalists.

Congrats to these two amazing young women.
