Updated 12:45 p.m. January 18, 2023 -- The number of Prince William County high schools that failed to notify students they were the recipients of National Merit recognition in time for the college application process grew to four.
According to county schools spokeswoman Diana Gulotta, Battlefield, Colgan, Forest Park, and Patriots high schools failed to tell a combined 28 students they received letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program.
While the students do not qualify for the scholarship, many students use the commendation letters on college applications. The school division said it learned about the error on Tuesday, January 16 when the original number of county high school students believed to have not been notified was 16.
