(Mustang, Oklahoma – September 24, 2024) – The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) recently announced its 2024 list of high school semi-finalists for the 69th Annual National Merit Scholarship Program, and Mustang High School Senior Christian Askeland will join those competing for a share of over 7,100 scholarships worth nearly $28 million.
Christian earned this honor by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test last year as an eleventh grader; his scores ranked among the 16,000 highest among over 1.3 million test-takers from almost 21,000 high schools across the country. The highest-scoring students in each state represent the pool of semifinalists who, according to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, represent less than 1% of United States high school seniors.
The next step for a semifinalist to become a finalist is to complete the required application that includes their SAT or ACT scores, an essay, and a letter of recommendation from a high school official. Finalists are then chosen on the basis of academic record, their participation in community and school activities, how they have demonstrated leadership ability, employment, and awards and honors received.
From this group of about 16,000 semifinalists, an expected 15,000 will advance to finalists in February; all National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from this group of Finalists. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
Three types of National Merit Scholarships will be offered in the spring of 2024. Every Finalist will compete for one of 2,500 National Merit® $2500 Scholarships that will be awarded on a state-representational basis. About 840 corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards will be provided by approximately 160 corporations and business organizations for Finalists who meet their specified criteria, such as children of the grantor’s employees or residents of communities where sponsor plants or offices are located. In addition, about 160 colleges and universities are expected to finance some 3,800 college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards for Finalists who will attend the sponsor institution.
National Merit Scholarship winners of 2024 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and concluding in July. These scholarship recipients will join nearly 375,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title.
High school students interested in applying in future years need to talk to their school counselor to make arrangements to take the PSAT/NMSQT test. Registration is through the high school and not by the students.
