TOWSON, Md. (WJZ) -- The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has announced that three Baltimore County Public Schools students are among the 2,500 high school seniors who have won single payment $2,500 scholarships sponsored by the corporation.

The honored students are:

  • Daniel J. Li, Catonsville High School

By the conclusion of this year's competition, about 7,600 National Merit Scholar Finalists will have won National Merit Scholarship Awards worth more than $31 million.

In addition to the just-announced National Merit $2,500 Scholarships and previously-announced corporate-sponsored scholarships, the college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards will be announced on June 5 and July 15.
