The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) has awarded these students National Merit Scholarships in recognition of their superior academic achievements.

Last fall, NMSC named more than 16,000 Semifinalists. Over 15,000 students met the very high academic standards and other requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. While the NMSC also offers business- and college-sponsored scholarships to finalists, only 2,500 students each year receive the organization's premier scholarship. These individuals are the finalists judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.

Horry County Schools is once again holding our Summer Feeding Program, which offers FREE meals to anyone 18 or younger.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of 21 Horry County Schools students as Finalists in the 71st annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These HCS students will have an opportunity to win one of over 6,900 National Merit Scholarships worth a combined total of nearly $26 million.
