Five Houston ISD seniors have been named semifinalists in the 2015 National Achievement Scholarship Program.
The program, which is conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, awards scholarship to academically promising black students. About 700 of the 1,600 semifinalists will go on to receive scholarships worth $2,500 each.
Houston ISD students in the running to receive scholarships include Odera Okafor, Chidinma Onwudebe and Samira Traore of DeBakey High School and Onyeka Agwuegbo and Erica Draud of Westside High School.
The correct spelling of my son’s name is Onyeka Agwuegbo and not Omyeka. Please take note of the correction. Thank you.
