Ayyan Zubair, of East Meadow High School, and Pavithran Ravindran, of W.T. Clarke High School, were selected as finalists in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program.

The students are now eligible for the National Merit Scholarship, as well as college, corporate and state scholarships. Candidates were selected from a previous group of semifinalists in the competition.

Semifinalists represented the top one-third of 50,000 high scorers who took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Students are ranked with a selection index score based on their combined scores in math, critical reading and writing.
