Agree, looks great for Honors College.
What home state? Which major?
Hard to know if any merit available. Would like to say you’d be shoo in for Banneker Key, but depends on UMD recruitment priorities. Ask your guidance counselor if any past grads from your high school have won merit.
College of Agriculture has some small merit awards, for example.
