A spokesperson from the NMSC said, “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
The National Merit Scholarship Program is one of the most prestigious academic competitions for recognition and scholarships. It was established in 1955, and performance on the test has been used as a benchmark by colleges and scholarship organizations for decades.
