Four More Millburn Teens Win Coveted National Merit Scholarships For College

MILLBURN, NJ — Once again, Millburn has had more National Merit Scholars than almost any other public school district in New Jersey.

After it was announced last month that the district had two winners of 2023 National Merit Corporate Scholarships — with their annual college scholarships to be funded by private companies — the National Merit Scholarship organization announced Tuesday that four more students have won annual college scholarships in the competition, these funded by the Foundation itself.

Three of those students attend Millburn High School, and one attends a private school in Livingston.

The highly competitive scholarships provide money for each of four years of college. The below awardees will get $2,500 per year.

The awards are given to high school seniors each year after a long process that includes submitting SAT scores, grades, recommendations, and a transcript. (See the requirements and the list of the 2022-23 semifinalists from Millburn here).

A year ago, Millburn had more National Merit Scholarship winners than any other public school district in the state.

Here are the newest winners:
