The semiiinaJi st group is com- I o-ed ol the highest scoring stu- ' '•m- in each state and in the United States territories . Each M'lnilinali s i now moves a step i loM-r to winning a four-year' Merit Si holai .ship to the college of in i ho t e. The annual program is conduct- ed b\ the National Merit Scholar- hip C< i poration. a nonprofit or- g. 'ii '/ation. Its president , John M. Stalnak e r , said: \T'ns nation ' s future intellec- tu.il leaders will come from young pe op le who have the qualities of the -enufmalists in the Merit Pro- v l ;,in '1 heir accomplishment brings ir edit to themselves , their schools , tin ii parents , and their commu- m:ie- . \ The achunement of anv student is usualh the product of many ii I' u in es . Ability is of course a m.i . ior factor. The wish and the v ill to make the most of that abrhn are equall y impoitant. Am- Lit M ii and drr\e are key factors . \At a time when brain power is liiiea s ingl y the source of national power we must all encourage , in i\uv way possible, the pursuit oi intellectual excellence by our able student s . \ To increase their opportunities to obtain financial assistance if the\ need it. the Merit Corporation M iiils the names of semifinalists to all accredited colleges and uni- \er-ities and to other scholarship- grantin g agencies and financial aid M hives . Studies show that about •0 per cent of the semifinalists ob- tMn s(holar -hip assjstar'ce from MUIM 1 - other than the Merit Pro- g r ,i m. The semifinaMsts will take an- other ugorous examination , the three-hour Scholastic Aptitude Ti st of the College Entrance Hoard , to be given in testing cen- ters throughout the nation on De- cember 2, lit()l. Students whose scores on the sic - nd test substantiate their per- formanc e on the qualifying test and who are endorsed by theii high schools will become finalists in the competition. In pa. st years , mi re than ( . S7 per cent of the -emi ' mali ' sts have become finalists. A:l nnali st s j oceiv^d a Certificate of Merit in l ecognition of their cut-tandmg performance in the ] i ogram. A- finali-t s , the students will he eligible for «cho\ir*hip awards s-poiwned by about 180 business corporation- foundat ; ons , associa- tion s , individual s , and the National Merit Scholarshi p Corporation it- self. In the final p hase of the compe- tition , the hi g h school grades, ex- tiacurricular activities , school citi- zenship, and leadershi p qualities of the students will be evaluated ah»ng with their scores on the tests. About April 26 , 1962 , the names of the M'^it Schorrs will be an- nounced , the exact number depend- ing on the extent of sponsor sup- pert of the Merit Program. Each Merit Scholarship is a four-year awaid to cover the un- dergraduates college years . The recipient' s stipend is tailored to his need. Sti pends now average about $800 a year. For Merit scholars who require financial assistance , awards may reach a maximum of $1 , 500 an- nually. For students who already possess financial resources which will enable them to attend the college of their choice , awards, of ^100 a year are granted. The minimum stipend is a form of \ educational insurance \ for the student who receives it , because the amount will be increased at any time while he is in college if there is a significant change in his family ' s financial situation. Finalists designate the college they wish to attend and the course of study they p lan to pursue. The colleges chosen by the Merit schol- ars in most instances also receive supp ' ementary grants ranging up to $500 per year to help defray the actual costs of educating the sit dents. The Meri t Scholarshi p Program was established in 1955 with grants from the Ford Foundation and th<> Carnegie Corporation of New York . The National Merit Scholarshi p Corporation and spon- sors have thus far contributed direct financial assistance to near- lv 5 , 000 students and their colleges.
