Three seniors in the Greer-Taylors area have been named recipients of National Merit Scholarships financed by colleges and universities. 

They join approximately 2,500 other college-sponsored award recipients who were announced in late May.

Those receiving scholarships are:

Nathan Junehun Chou of Riverside High — National Merit Emory University Scholarship

Officials of each sponsor college selected their scholarship winners from among the Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program who will attend their institution. College-sponsored awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship.
