Vamsi Gorrepati was named a 2020 U.S. Presidential Scholar

Spring Valley High School is pleased to announce that Vamsi Gorrepati was named a 2020 U.S. Presidential Scholar. Only three were selected from our state. This is such a huge honor and recognition for Vamsi, his family, our school, and our entire school district. Since 2003, Spring Valley High School has had six students to be recognized as Presidential Scholars.

Vamsi Gorrepati is a senior at Spring Valley High School in the Discovery magnet program. He is involved in HOSA, Circle of Friends, Math/Science National Honor Societies, and is the Vice President of Key Club. He has done research on tailoring Metal-Organic Frameworks to increase semiconductors' efficiency. He has also published a research paper and won awards at SCJAS, USC Region II Science and Engineering Fair, and qualified for JSHS Nationals in New Mexico. Outside of school, Vamsi enjoys photography, origami, 3D printing, and has competed in hurdles as part of SV Track and Field. As an Eagle Scout, he has even received the National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year from the Indian Waters Council for building a playground for his temple. Vamsi will be attending Yale University, where he plans to major in Computer Science with a pre-med focus.

One young man and one young woman have been chosen from each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and from families of U.S. citizens living abroad. 15 students have been selected at large, 20 students have been chosen for demonstrating exceptional talent in the visual and performing arts, and 20 students have been chosen for demonstrating ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. The Scholars have all demonstrated leadership, scholarship, contribution to school and community, and outstanding accomplishments in the arts, sciences, humanities, and other fields of interest.  Here is more info about the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program: https://www2.ed.gov/programs/psp/index.html

Congratulations to Vamsi for this prestigious honor - thank you for continuing the Spring Valley Tradition of Excellence!

Spring Valley National Merit® $2500 Scholarship Winner Alyssa Williams

Congratulations to Spring Valley senior, Alyssa Williams. Today, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced this year’s National Merit $2500 Scholarship winners. The 2,500 Merit Scholar designees were chosen from a talent pool of more than 15,000 outstanding Finalists in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program. 

National Merit $2500 Scholarship winners are the Finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. The number of winners named in each state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the nation’s graduating high school seniors.

 These Scholars were selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors, who appraised a substantial amount of information submitted by both the Finalists and their high schools: the academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®); contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay written by the Finalist, and a recommendation written by a high school official. 

NMSC finances most of these single-payment National Merit $2500 Scholarships. Corporations and company foundations that sponsor awards through NMSC also help underwrite these scholarships with grants they provide in lieu of paying administrative fees. Scholars may use their awards at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university. 2020 National Merit Scholarship Competition This year’s National Merit Scholarship Program began in October 2018 when over 1.5 a million juniors in approximately 21,000 high schools took the PSAT/NMSQT, which served as an initial screen of program entrants. Last fall, the highest-scoring participants in each state, representing less than one percent of the nation’s high school seniors, were named Semifinalists on a state-representational basis. Only these 16,000 Semifinalists had an opportunity to continue in the competition. From the Semifinalist group, some 15,000 students met the very high academic standards and other requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. By the conclusion of the 2020 program, about 7,600 Finalists will have earned the “Merit Scholar” title and received a total of over $30 million in college scholarships. NMSC, a not-for-profit corporation that operates without government assistance, was founded in 1955 specifically to conduct the National Merit Scholarship Program. The majority of scholarships offered each year are underwritten by approximately 400 independent corporate and college sponsors that share NMSC’s goals of honoring scholastically talented youth and encouraging academic excellence at all levels of education.
