The nationwide pool of National Merit Semifinalists named this fall represented less than one percent of United States high school seniors, including the highest scoring PSAT entrants in each state. That pool has been narrowed down to approximately 15,000 nationwide finalists of which 8,200 will receive one of three different awards, including a National Merit grant of $2,500.
Scholarship recipients will be announced from April-July.
