The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has awarded $2,500 scholarships to students nationwide, including four from high schools in East Cobb. 
According to a press release, the recipients are “finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. The number of winners named in each state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the nation’s graduating high school seniors.”
It’s the second of four rounds of scholarship announcements for the Class of 2022, and the funding comes from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation’s own funds.
Future recipients will be announced in June.
The $2,500 scholarship recipients from East Cobb schools are as follows:
- Chinmay P. Joshi, Walton High School—Probable career field: Medicine
- Aadi Katta, Walton High School—Probable career field: Computer Science
- Satya S. Tetali, Wheeler High School—Probable career field: Biochemistry
