|
Congratulations to Ankit, a junior at Plant City High School and student in our Take Stock in Children mentoring program, who recently earned a
PERFECT SCORE

The top 1% of scorers, usually about 16,000 students across the United States, are named National Merit Semifinalists. Ankit's perfect

score exceeds even National Merit expectations!
Great work, Ankit! We are so proud of your incredible accomplishment.

"This is something that is definitely going to change my future. It opens me up to scholarship and college opportunities, but more importantly, I think it helped prove to myself that anything within an academic scope is achievable as long as you put in the work. I think this level of self-confidence will go a long way as I continue my journey through education.”
-Ankit, Plant City High School
