Trinity Prep seniors John Baldwin, Will Driscoll, Setareh Gooshvar, Andrew Kwa, Dominic Martinez, Andrew Miller, Olivia Miller, and Jackie Wang have each been offered college-sponsored National Merit Scholarships.

The National Merit Corporation offers several types of scholarships including college-sponsored scholarships.

Approximately 200 colleges and universities underwrite more than 4,800 National Merit Scholarships annually. Only National Merit Finalists who plan to attend a college or university that sponsors Merit Scholarship Awards can be considered for one. Winners are chosen by officials of the sponsor college or university.

In order to be considered for any of these scholarships, students must achieve National Merit Finalist status by first qualifying as National Merit Semifinalists, by fulfilling several additional requirements as part of a detailed scholarship application, and by presenting a record of very high academic performance.

Congratulations to the Class of 2020 students invited to participate in the National Merit Scholarship Program!

Twenty Trinity Prep students from the Class of 2020 have been recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation as high scoring juniors on the October 2018 PSAT/NMSQT and have met the requirements to enter the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program. 

Congratulations to Cecilia Arney, Jason Baron, Sofia Blumenfeld, Shay Buchanan, Jessica Celuch, Justin Davis, David Escue, Phoebe Fowler, Daniel Galvez, Anusha Karandikar, Eashan Kothari, Samantha Lin, Audrey McAnally, Aidan McLaughlin, Katie Rohrbaugh, Levon Tabirian, Bhrajit Thakur, Elizabeth Ugan, London Wharton, and Harper Wilcox.

With a PSAT Selection Index score of 212 or above, each of these students is among the 50,000 highest scoring participants of some 1.6 million program entrants who took the PSAT in October 2018.  Of this group, approximately 16,000 will be named National Merit Program Semifinalists in September, representing the top scorers in each state.  The remaining 34,000 high scorers will be commended for their performances but they will not continue in the National Merit Scholarship competition.

The Community Service Award for Outstanding Leadership is given to those students who not only exhibit a long term and unfailing commitment to a specific service organization, but they also have demonstrated strong leadership skills and assumed more responsibility as they grow in their service commitment.  These students receive a plaque and their names will be included on the perpetual plaque located near the Upper School Office. 

The Community Service Award for Outstanding Leadership recipients: 

  • Junior, Annabelle Lawton for all of her work with giving back to the community, but especially for her work with the iCan Bike program.  The goal of iCan Bike is to teach individuals with disabilities to ride a conventional two wheel bicycle and become lifelong independent riders.

Camille Gardiner with the Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida presented the award. 
     
  • Freshman, Lauren Carlson for her amazing work of putting on Dancing for Parkinson's, a fundraising event to to benefit the Michael J. Fox for Parkinson's Research that raised almost $7000.

The Certificate of Honor for Leadership in Community Service is given to a student who shows initiative or a long term commitment to a cause with a significant impact on the local community. 

Certificates of Honors for Leadership in Community Service Recipients:  

  • Junior, Michael Finkelstein, and his commitment to serving at the Orlando Science Center

NOTE FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE

It’s mighty quiet on this Trinity Prep campus with most of the students and faculty gone. The contrast of the busy school year and all that it holds with the slower pace of this season is so striking. But it gives us time to consider the importance of supporting our students and faculty, and all that happens within a busy school year. And it gives our students and faculty time to recharge to make things happen all over again! Thank you to those who have made a gift to the 2018-19 Trinity Prep Fund--your support helps make those things happen! If you've yet to make a gift, we hope we can count on you before the end of our fiscal year (June 30). Your gift now will help shape that next busy school year! Enjoy your summer, and thank you for your consideration.
