SKA cheers its National Merit competitors

The Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls is proud to announce that Ayliana Teitelbaum, a member of the Class of 2016, has been named a Semi-Finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition.  

In her Junior year, Ayliana tied for fifth place in Chidon Hamada HaYerushalmi, the Jerusalem science contest, and earned an all expense paid trip to Jerusalem.

A talented musician who plays piano, flute and violin, Ayliana was captain of both SKA’s Mock Trial Team and College Bowl Team, last year’s peer elected Keter Torah awardee, and third place Amud winner in Yeshiva University’s Bronka Weintraub Talmudic Competition, in addition to participating in SKA’s Pre-Start Science Program.   

Mazel tov also to SKA’s National Merit Scholarship Commendees: Tova Goldberg, Rebecca Lipsky, Atara Paul, Yohana Weiss and Gaby Yusupov. The scholarship program is a national academic competition for recognition and college scholarships administered by the National Merit Scholarship Competition, a privately funded nonprofit organization. Each year, approximately 10,500 scholarships, representing less than one-percent of the initial pool of entrants, are awarded through NMSC programs.

Mazel Tov! May you all continue to grow mei’chayil l’chayil. Your teachers and classmates applaud your prestigious accomplishments.
