Roswell High School Students Win National Achievement Scholarships

Two Roswell High School students are among five throughout the county who were recently named winners in the 49th annual National Achievement Scholarship Program, an academic competition for African-American high school students.

Morgan Green and Taylor M. Green have each won a $2,500 cash prize - or an equivalent scholarship - from one of the 34 corporations underwriting the National Merit program.

All of the qualifying students were identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which they took as juniors. They also must have a record of high academic performance, be endorsed and recommended by their school principal and have earned SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying test performance.

Here is the complete list of Fulton County students who each won a scholarship:

Alpharetta High School

Amanda L. Richards
 

Northview High School

Justin O. Bryant

Roswell High School

Morgan Green

Taylor M. Green

Tri-Cities High School
Helena Baldwin

The National Achievement is administered by National Merit Corp., an organization that recognizes and awards scholarships to academically gifted students. Close to 700 students were named nationwide, sharing an approximate $2 million in scholarship funds.
