Five students from Episcopal School of Jacksonville have been named National Merit finalists: Sally Barksdale, Paul Fouts, Jameson Gatewood, Don Kohla and Braden Witkovich.

Fouts and Gatewood are residents of Ponte Vedra.

The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships.

High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.

Approximately 15,000 semifinalists are notified that they have advanced to finalist standing. School administrators are also notified and provided with a Certificate of Merit to present to each finalist.
