Several Cobb students were named college-sponsored National Merit Scholarship recipients for 2019, the Cobb County School District said.
Sponsor colleges chose their winners from finalists in the program. Each scholarship provides between $500 and $2,000 each year up to four years of study at the college or university financing the award.
Scholarship winners are among roughly 7,600 high school students who will be awarded National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million. In May six Cobb students were named winners of the corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship and another 14 won the National Merit $2,500 Scholarship.
Another round of scholars will be announced in July, which will bring the total of 2019 college-sponsored scholarship recipients to about 4,100.
