A NOTE TO NATIONAL MERIT "POTENTIAL SCHOLARS:"
The PSAT/ NMSQT is the official national merit scholarship qualifying test. The score for program recognition is the sum of critical reading, math, and writing.
The state of Texas takes the top 16,000 highest scores and labels them as students qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship. We cannot be sure what the exact cut off score may be, but we do know that last year's cut off score was 219.
If you or your student qualifies for this award, you will receive this information in September of the following year.
Scholarships are only awarded to a small number of national merit scholars. Just because you reach national merit scholar status does not guarantee a scholarship however many schools offer full ride scholarships to students who meet national merit status.
