Dorchester School District Two Celebrates More than 100 South Carolina Junior Scholars

Press Release

Dorchester School District Two is represented on the state level by more than 100 South Carolina Junior Scholars from the 2022-2023 school year.

The SC Junior Scholars program through the SC Department of Education identifies eighth-grade students with exceptional academic and intellectual talent. Students have the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT, which is an above grade level assessment that measures college readiness.

The program includes a process for screening using the PSAT/NMSQT, identifying and recognizing those students with exceptionally high scholastic and intellectual ability from the screening, and the offering of summer and weekend opportunities to these students in collaboration with colleges and universities and the SC Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics.

SC Junior Scholar candidates are the eligible students who scored 550 or higher on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing portion of the PSAT/NMSQT or scored 530 or higher on the Mathematics portion of the PSAT/NMSQT.

For the 2023-2024 academic year, families can refer their 8^th grade student to participate in PSAT/NMSQT testing through September 15^th on Parent Portal. The cost of the PSAT/NMSQT is $18. Families will need to pay with cash, check or money order made payable to the student’s school. Results will be communicated to families in December.
