The Aquinas College Valedictorian / National Merit Semifinalist Scholarship is open to students who will graduate as the valedictorian of their class, as well as all students who have been named National Merit Semifinalist. This scholarship goes above and beyond Aquinas' Spectrum of Scholarships Program. The only scholarships that supersede this award are the Jerome C. Byrne, the John E. Veneklasen, and the R. Paul Nelson Full Tuition Scholarships. Students must also verify their valedictorian status from their guidance counselor. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
