Essence is a senior at University High School. She was recognized as a Commended Student in the 2011 National Merit Scholarship Program. The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition that high school students enter by taking the Preliminary SAT\National Merit Qualifying Test in October of their junior year. By being recognized as Commended, she now qualifies for special scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
