Over one million students
attending some 18,000 U.S.
secondary schools entered
the competition by taking
the PSAT-NMSQT in 1981
when most of them were
juniors. Those designated
as semifinalists are being
honored publicly as the
highest scorers in their
respective states; in addi
tion, they are being iden
tified to colleges and uni
versities in the hope of in
creasing educational op
portunities for these aca
demically able young stu
dents.
Semifinalists have com
pleted the first step in the
Merit Scholarship compe
tition but to be considered
further, they must meet
additional requirements
and advance to finalist
standing. Each semifinal
^ist who becomes a finalist
must be fully endorsed and
recommended for scholar
ships by thfe high school
principal, demonstrate
high academic standing in
records submitted by the
school, substantiate high
performance on the quali
fying test with equivalent
scores on another examin
ation, and supply bio
graphical data and a self
description of activities
and extracurricular ac
complishments. About 90
percent of the semifinalists
are expected to qualify as
finalists and all Merit
Scholars will be chosen
from among this highly
able group of about 13,500.
At least 1,500 of the 5,000
Merit Scholarships to be
offered in 1983 will be one

scholarships. Every final
ist will compete for one of
these awards and recipi
ents will be those who
distinguish themselves in
the competition. A com
mittee of experienced col
lege admissions officers
and secondary school coun
selors will be convened to
choose winners on a state
by-state basis. The selec
tion process is a subjective
one, and “National” award
winner represent the final
ists in each state who are
judged by the committee to
have the best combination
of abilities, accomplish
ments and personal quali
ties important to success
during and after college.
The majority of the $1,000
awards will be underwrit
ten by corporate and busi
ness sponsors that also
finance four-year scho
larships; unrestricted
grants to the Merit Pro
gram will support the re
mainder.
Some 3,500 renewable
Merit Scholarships, worth
between $1,000 and $8,000
over each winner’s four
years of undergraduate
study, will be awarded in
1983. Of these, about 1,500
will be funded by some 400
corporations, company
foundations, and business
es that designate the four
year awards they support
for children of company
employees, for finalists
from geographic areas the
sponsor organization
serves, or for students
planning careers a sponsor
wishes to encourage. Ad
ditionally, more than 2,000
four-year Merit Scholar
ships will be underwritten
by 180 colleges and uni
versities. Only Finalists
who wish to attend a spon
sor institution are consid
ered for these awards,
which must be used at the
college or university fi
nancing them.
In April and early May,
names of Merit Scholars of
1983 will be released by
NMSC in three separate
nationwide announcements
- one for each type of
award. In the 27 competi
tions between 1956 and
1982, over 73,000 students
have won Merit Scholar
ships valued at about $210
million; 18,800 of them are
currently undergraduates
enrolled in almost 700 of the
nation's highest education
institutions
