Diana A. Trutia of Godwin H.S. and Carter A. Meagher of Collegiate School have been named among 750 of the most recent winners of National Merit Scholarships financed by colleges and universities.

To become Merit Scholars, students must qualify with high national test scores in their junior year, then submit a detailed scholarship application and essay. They are judged on academic record, essay, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, honors and awards received.
Diana Trutia, whose intended career field is biomedicine, will attend Occidental College in Los Angeles. Carter Meagher will attend Colby College in Maine and intends to pursue a career field in international relations.
