The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in their junior year of high school. Semifinalists are the highest scoring entrants in each state and are invited to apply for the National Merit® Scholarship.
Congratulations!

Internship Program The Bishop Gorman Internship Program was established in 2012 with seven participating businesses and has since come a long way. Thanks to the excellent job our students have done year after year and the support of our community, the program continues to grow and prosper. In the program’s seventh year, fifteen businesses provided internships to twenty-three juniors going into their senior year during the summer of 2018. Alumni, parents, and friends of Bishop Gorman make up the group of supporters of this program and provide our students with priceless opportunities throughout the Las Vegas Valley. We are proud to have ongoing partnerships with businesses and welcome new participants each year. Two students, Kyle Rainey '19 and Julia Sanman '19 (pictured at right), had the opportunity to intern at Alston Construction which provides our students with a very unique experience.
