For more information on the National Merit Scholarship Program:
The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)—a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.6 million entrants each year—and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements. The PSAT must be taken by 11th graders to be eligible for National Merit. Click below for more info: http://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/interior.aspx?sid=1758&gid=2&pgid=424
