What is National Merit and Why Does it Matter?

TLDR: 

  • National Merit Scholarships are based on PSAT/NMSQT results plus an application.
  • Top 1% of PSAT scorers from each state are invited to apply for Finalist status.
  • Many scholarships, commendations, and recognition opportunities are available along the way—even if students don’t become Finalists or Scholars.
  • Preparing early for the PSAT/NMSQT is critical. Revolution Prep Academic Advisors help families navigate the process with clarity and confidence.
