RIDGEFIELD — Ridgefield High School senior Asher Anderson has been selected as a recipient of a corporate-sponsored National Merit Scholarship award.
“It already feels like a great blessing, and the entire impact and importance of the award hasn’t even hit me yet,” Anderson said.
Anderson and his family moved from Connecticut to Ridgefield when he was in third grade. He is a member of the high school’s Knowledge Bowl team and is vice president of the school’s robotics club.
Approximately 770 distinguished high school seniors won corporate-sponsored National Merit Scholarship awards financed by about 94 corporations, company foundations and other business organizations.
