Two members of Notre Dame Prep's Class of 2014 were named finalists in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program.
NDP seniors Kathleen Finn and Ben Sutkiewicz will now compete for 8,000 scholarships worth more than $35 million that will be awarded in the spring.
Three types of scholarships will be offered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, including about 2,500 awarded by state allotments, 1,000 corporate-sponsored scholarships and about 4,800 sponsored by 200 colleges and universities.
In March, NMSC will begin mailing scholarship offers to winners of the 2014 scholarships. Finn and Sutkiewicz were named NMS semifinalists in September 2013.
More than 30,000 students across the country applied last year for the National Merit Scholarship program.
