Last October, more than 1.6 million juniors Nationwide entered the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as the initial screening of program entrants. The 16,000 Semifinalists represent less than one percent of the U.S. high school seniors and include the highest scoring entrants in each state. To become a Finalist and to be considered for National Merit Scholarships, a student must present an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying PSAT.
