Union High School seniors Brandon Jonely and James Rogers were named 2011-2012 National Merit Finalists. Brandon Jonely is the son of Mary and Ronald Goss and AJ Jonely of Tulsa; James Rogers is the son of Marc and Marsha Rogers of Tulsa.
National Merit Finalists are selected based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT--a test that measures verbal, math, and writing skills. They were named National Merit Semi-finalists last September. Merit Scholars are chosen from the group of Finalists, based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments and are usually announced in late spring/early summer. Merit scholarship awards include National Merit $2,500 Scholarships and corporate- and college-sponsored scholarships.
To participate in the National Merit Scholarship Program, a student must:
- be enrolled full time as a high school student, progressing normally toward graduation or completion of high school, and planning to enter college no later than the fall following completion of high school;
- be a citizen of the United States or, if not now a citizen, a permanent U.S. resident (or an applicant for permanent residency) in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen; and
- take the PSAT/NMSQT ® in the specified year of the high school program and no later than the third year in grades 9 through 12, regardless of grade classification or educational pattern.
