The National Merit Scholarship website states 2017 semifinalists will be announced Wednesday, September 14, 2016. But hearing rumors that some students have already been told by their school counselor that they’re semi-finalists. Have you personally received the good news? --Asking for a friend
Check out National Merit subforum on Financial Aid forum. Lots of threads there. A number of students report having been told they are semifinalists.
