Letter of Commendation for James

This Letter of Commendation signifies your designation as a Commended Student in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Your high Selection Index score places you among the top 50,000 of over 1.5 million students who entered the 2011 National Merit Program by taking the 2009 PSAT. All of us associated with the program join officials of your high school (that would be Scott and I) in congratulating you for your excellent performance on the PSAT.
You are among 34,000 Commended Students nationwide who have shown exceptional academic promise. Only the 16,000 higher-scoring program participants who qualified as semifinalists will continue in the competition for Merit Scholarship awards.  However, your performance on the qualifying test was outstanding and recognition as a Commended Student is a credit to you, your parents, and your high school.
The degree of success you achieve in the future will depend upon you - your use of your abilities and your perseverance towards the goals you set for yourself. We offer you our best wishes with the hope that being named a Commended Student in the National Merit Program will broaden your horizons and encourage you to develop your potential to the fullest.
