<p>I'm filling out college apps, and I'm in the scholarship section. It is asking about national merit, it listed you being able to choose (commended, semi-finalist, none), and I chose semi-finalist. Then next to that is a box titled "national achievement" (commended, semi-finalist, none). What is this national achievement?</p>
<p>google it</p>

<p>The National Achievement Scholarship Program, also run by the NMSC, recognizes academic achievement among African-American high school students.</p>
<p>[National</a> Merit Scholarship Corporation - NASP](<a href=“http://www.nationalmerit.org/nasp.php]National”>http://www.nationalmerit.org/nasp.php)</p>
<p>It is possible to attain recognition by both programs.</p>
<p>Rohauce: I’m sympathetic to your impulse but thought it best to take advantage of the opportunity to give NASP more exposure.</p>
