With Merit: Nina Scheibe
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Over the next few weeks, the Southeast Missourian will introduce you to five local scholars. National Merit semifinalists scored big on the PSAT. Out of more than 1.5 million juniors who took the test in 2008, 16,000 were named semifinalists. They will now compete for finalist standing by taking the SAT and submitting an application and recommendations -- with the hope of winning a scholarship. This week's scholar is Nina Scheibe, a music enthusiast who plans to continue studying the bassoon in college.
