Thirty-eight Fulton County graduating seniors were named winners in the 2015 National Merit and National Achievement scholarship programs. Along with the prestigious National Merit/National Achievement Scholar distinction, the students earn cash scholarships to use at the college or university of their choice. Some of the scholarships are sponsored directly by the National Merit Corporation or by businesses that designate awards for finalists with career plans the sponsor wishes to encourage; for children of their employees; or for residents of a community where a company has operations. They may be renewable for four years of undergraduate study or be granted as one-time awards. Also sponsored by National Merit, the National Achievement Scholarship Program named three Fulton seniors to its 2015 roster. Identical in rigor and prestige to the National Merit competition, the scholarship is open to African-American high school students.
