ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced on Jan. 4 that he will investigate the delay by a Virginia high school in informing students of national recognition they received in a scholarship competition, a day after Gov. Glenn Youngkin formally asked him to do so.

“The National Merit award is a recognition and such a valuable tool in our college application process for earning merit-based scholarships to pay for the ever-increasing costs of college,” Miyares said.
