George School is proud to announce that three seniors—Anima Acheampong of Cherry Hill, New Jersey; Lauren Hill of Yardley, Pennsylvania; and Christina Lomax of Chalfont, Pennsylvania—are among approximately 3,000 outstanding National Achievement Scholarship Program participants being referred to United States colleges and universities in recognition of their potential for academic success in college. These students scored in the top 5 percent of more than 130,000 Black Americans who requested consideration in the 2007 National Achievement Program when they took the 2005 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
The National Achievement Scholarship Program, founded in 1964, is a privately-financed annual academic competition established specifically to honor outstanding Black American high school students.
