Two Rivermont seniors National Merit Scholarship finalists

BETTENDORF — Two Rivermont Collegiate seniors have advanced to finalist standing in

the National Merit Scholarship program.

Benjamin Nordick, the son of Gary and Christina Nordick of Milan, and Emilia Porubcin, the daughter of Michal and Chae Hee Porubcin, of Coal Valley, now have the opportunity to receive scholarships in 2017 through the National Merit Scholarship Program.

High school students enter the National Merit Program in their junior year by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test — a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.6 million entrants each year — and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.
