The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Of the 1.6 million entrants, only about 3 percent are chosen for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program based upon their exceptional test scores.
