National Merit and Other Honors
Seniors earn recognition in national honors programs.
National Merit Scholarship Program
High school students enter the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)—a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year. The nationwide pool of semifinalists represent less than one percent of US high school seniors. To advance to finalist standing, students must complete an application and submit SAT scores. National Merit and National Achievement finalists will be announced in February 2014.
