    By Staff ReportsJune 1, 2022Updated:July 12, 20222 Mins Read

    Two students from Eden Prairie are among the more than 2,600 winners of National Merit Scholarships financed by U.S. colleges and universities announced on Wednesday, June 1.

    • Lilian J. Liu, of Eden Prairie, won a National Merit University of Southern California Scholarship. Liu, a senior at the Blake School’s Northrop campus in Minneapolis, plans to study law. 
    • Amoligha G. Timma, of Eden Prairie, won a National Merit University of Minnesota Scholarship. The Eden Prairie High School senior plans to study computer science.

    Officials of each sponsor college selected their scholarship winners from among the finalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program who plan to attend their institution. These awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship. 

    This is the third National Merit Scholar release of awards in 2022.

    The National Merit Scholarship Corp. (NMSC) named recipients of corporate-sponsored awards on April 27 and winners of National Merit $2,500 Scholarships on May 11.
