The 25 semifinalists are among more than 16,000 students throughout the U.S. that represent the top 1 percent of students who entered the merit program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit School Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) during their junior year.  

To become a finalist, semifinalists must submit a detailed scholarship application, including information about academic records, participating in school and community activities, leadership skills, employment, and honors and awards. In addition to the scholarship application, semifinalists must be endorsed by a high school official, write an essay and earn an SAT or ACT score that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test.  

Qualifying students will be notified of their final designation in February, with National Merit Scholarship winners announced beginning in April and concluding in July.
