West Austin News congratulates Claire and Audrey Wan, students at St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, for being named National Merit scholarship winners and receiving corporate-sponsored scholarships from NVIDIA.
Claire expects to enter the field of chemical engineering, while Audrey’s career plan is healthcare.
NVIDIA, a Silicon Valley- based corporation, is the inventor of the GPU, the AI brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars. NVIDIA’s scholarship awards recognize outstanding students of its employees.
Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship competition receive these corporate scholarships, and most of these corporate-sponsored scholarships are renewable for up to four years and range from $1,000 per year to $10,000 per year. Announcements through the spring and summer will be made by National Merit as additional Finalists are named National Merit scholars.
