<p>Wyoming Seminary Upper School recently awarded merit scholarships to 12 rising freshmen and one rising sophomore. The Seminary scholarship program awards scholarships to eighth- and ninth-grade students with exceptional academic talents from schools other than Wyoming Seminary. The recipients are chosen on the basis of their performance on the Seminary Scholarship Test and interviews with the scholarship committee and their academic profile. Test-takers are also eligible to receive four-year Deans Merit Scholarships for those who score within the top 20 percent of all students taking the exam. The school also awards two Henderson Scholarships to eighth-grade graduates of the Lower School who excel on a competitive exam and have demonstrated strong communication skills and significant contributions to the Lower School. In addition, applicants to Seminary who are in eighth and ninth grades and who rank in the top 10 percent of their class are eligible for four-year Blue Knight Scholarships. Jacob Stefanowicz, Harveys Lake, a rising freshman, received a full tuition, four-year Seminary scholarship. Rising freshmen Bernard Frantz, Shavertown; Michael Giallorenzi, Clarks Summit; Sophie Guichardan, Drums; and rising sophomore Adwitya Singh, Clarks Summit received half-tuition, four-year scholarships. Recipients of the Blue Knight Scholarships include Halle Kehl, Mountain Top; Kelsey Reznick, Drums; and Harish Yerra, Shavertown. Recipients of the Deans Merit Scholarships are Patrick Andes, Bear Creek; Ryan Perry, Union Dale; and William Ziegler, Mountain Top.
