The\u00a0National Merit\u00ae\u00a0Scholarship Program\u00a0is 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\u00ae)\u2013a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year\u2013and by meeting published program entry\/participation requirement. In early September, about 16,000 students, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high scorers, are notified that they have qualified as Semifinalists. To ensure that academically talented young people from all parts of the United States are included in this talent pool, Semifinalists are designated on a state representational basis. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state.<\/p>\n
