Villa Academy is proud to celebrate the outstanding academic achievement of two special Villa alums, Christian Vanderwall (‘06) and John Osborn (‘06). This February, both students received notice that they will advance to Finalist standing for the coveted National Merit Scholarship Award.

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition that recognizes academically talented high school students based on their Preliminary SAT score.  Winners of Merit Scholarship awards are all selected from the Finalist pool based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments and become eligible for a number of educational scholarships.

We wish these young men the best of luck throughout the rest of the competition and in their higher educational pursuits as they continue to prepare for college.
