Four students from East Cobb have been named recipients of corporate-sp0nsored National Merit Scholarships.
They were among the high school seniors who will receive scholarships financed by about 115 corporations, company foundations, and other business organizations.
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation said Wednesday that students were selected from the finalist level in the NMS competition and met criteria of their scholarship sponsors.
“Corporate sponsors provide National Merit Scholarships for Finalists who are children of their employees, who are residents of communities the company serves, or who plan to pursue college majors or careers the sponsor wishes to encourage,” NMSC said in a release.
Most of the scholarship awards are annual stipends that range from $1,000 to $10,000 per year for undergraduate study. Recipients can use their awards at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university of their choice.
