More Than 400 Get
Merit Scholarships
By WINFRED L. GODWIN
Director, Southern Regional
Education Board
More than 400 graduates of
Southern high schools will go
to college next fall under the
National Merit Scholarship Pro
gram. They are winners in this
year's screening to determine
the cream of the nation’s crop of
high school graduates.
Os the 423 Merit Scholarship
winners from the South, only
224 will use their awards to at
tend Southern colleges and uni
versities. Others will take the
scholarships outside of the re
gion to attend undergraduate col
leges of their choice.
High school students all over
the nation take the "National
Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test." The three-hour examina
tion is given in the high schools
and is a well-designed test of
educational development.
From this test, 10,000 students
who are the highest scorers in
their states are selected as "fin
alists." Each of these 10,000 fin
THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY
alists is considered to be fully
qualified to receive a Merit
Scholarship, but since there are
only some 1,500 scholarships
available, additional screening
and tests are given to determine
the final winners. Final selec
tion is made by the Merit Schol
ar Selection Committee, com
posed of national experts in aca
demic selection. They consider
the leadership, citizenship,
grades and extracurricular activ
ities of each finalist as well as
his test scores.
Southern students this year
won 27 per cent of the 1,500 schol
arships available. But only 15
per cent of the total will attend
Southern colleges or universi
ties. - v
Recent figures about Iferaduate
fellowship winners show that 47
per cent of the college graduates
going on to graduate school with
fellowships chose to use them
in colleges or universities outside
of the South. The per cent of
Merit Scholars going out of the
region is exactly the same.
Sixty-five per cent of the Mer
it Scholars will go to private col
leges and universities, which in
dicates that these schools have
strong appeal for the outstanding
high school graduate.
Higher tuitions in the private
schools are not a detriment to
Merit Scholars since their schol
arships are. tailored to fit the
needs of the individual, depend
ing on the financial position of
the parents and upon the cost of
attending the institution chosen.
The institution chosen by a Mer
it Scholar also receives a grant
according to its expenditure per
student for educating a student.
Only two per cent, or 2T, of
the Merit Scholars from outside
the South will use their scholar
ships in Southern schools the
same percentage as that of grad
uate fellowship winners deciding
to come into the region. Os the
21 imports, 1 will attend private
colleges or universities in the
South and 9 of these chose Rice
University in Houston to study
the physical sciences, mathe
matics and engineering.
The National Merit Scholarship
Corporation was launched in
1955 through grants of S2O mil
lion from the Ford Foundation
and the Carnegie Corporation of
New York. Because its screen
ing devices are widely respected,
many of those qualifying for Mer
it Scholarships, but not winning
one of the 1,500 available, are
granted scholarships and aid
from other sources.
