Started in 1955, The National Merit Scholarship Program, is scholarship/recognition competition for high school students who take Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®). Approximately 1.5 million students take the test. In September 2012, approximately 16,000 of the highest scorers (designated on a state representation model) were named Semifinalists. In New York State, 1059 students were named Semifinalists. In Spring 2013, approximately 8,300 of these students will be notified that have been selected to receive a Merit Scholarship.
We have previously named NYC private school, independent school, and religious school Semifinalists (2012-13). Below are the Semifinalists for NYC public schools (2012-13):
