National Achievement Scholarship Program
Seven Hills senior Adam Buford, also a National Merit Semifinalist, was named a Semifinalist in the National Achievement Scholarship competition today, Sept. 24. Adam is one of 1,600 African-American student applicants – about 1 percent of whom have been designated Semifinalists in the National Achievement Scholarship Program. Adam will now have an opportunity to compete for approximately 800 Achievement Scholarship awards totaling about $2.5 million that will be offered next spring. The National Achievement Scholarship Program, conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation, was initiated in 1964 to recognize African-American scholars throughout the nation and provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding program participants.
