Four MKA Seniors Named National Merit Scholarship Finalists

Montclair Kimberley Academy is proud to announce that four seniors have been selected as Finalists for a 2022 National Merit® Scholarship. Milo Blake from South Orange, Joshua Kaufman from Randolph, Olivia Okun-Dubitsky from Montclair, and Sebastian So from Verona have been recognized as being among the nation's most academically talented students.

Only about 16,000 students of the 1.6 million who entered the competition were named Semifinalists. In order to advance in the competition and be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, a Semifinalist had to become a Finalist by fulfilling several requirements that included submitting a detailed scholarship application and presenting a record of very high academic performance. MKA’s four seniors now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 7,500 National Merit Scholarships, worth nearly $30 million, that will be offered this spring.

Congratulations to these students on this impressive achievement and continued good luck in the competition!
