Where to find a list for your district’s semifinalists?

Our district likes to brag about National Merit Scholarship semifinalists every year but didn’t post any information this year so guessing they didn’t do well or had too many to care or highlight. Is there a way to see their results?

What state are you in? There are a series of posts on Reddit.

NMSC releases semi finalist names to the media and to the high schools, but don’t publicly post the names. https://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/interior.aspx?sid=1758&gid=2&pgid=439

As noted above, photocopies of the list released to the media were posted on reddit in the r/psat group. Also, newspapers in some states publish all the local names. So someone could probably find it if they knew what state to look for.

Didn’t it use to release the full list (including student names, their high schools and states) publicly after it released the same to media and the high schools, at least until a few years ago? When did it stop releasing the list publicly?

Good question, I’m not sure they ever put all the names on their website.

They did, at least the year my S was a NMSF. I was able to find such a list on their website (and the lists for a few prior years).
