The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.3 million entrants each year and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements.
