National Merit

The National Merit Scholarship Program is a United States academic scholarship competition for recognition and university scholarships administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). In September of the student’s Senior Year, the highest-scoring students are notified through the high school that they have qualified as either Commended Students or Semifinalists. Semifinalists move on to the next round of competition. Finalists are chosen from the Semifinalists category. From the pool of Finalists, approximately 8,200 students are selected as Scholars and awarded scholarships from NMSC or sponsoring colleges or corporations.
