Corporations sponsored these scholarships, which designate awards: for finalists with career plans the sponsor wishes to encourage; for children of their employees; or for residents of a community where a company has operations. They may be renewable for four years of undergraduate study or be granted as one-time awards.

Qualifying students were identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. In addition to having a record of high academic performance, they were endorsed by their principal and earned high SAT scores confirming their earlier qualifying test performance.

National Merit Scholarship Corp. conducts the annual National Merit Scholarship and National Achievement Scholarship programs.

The organization will announce the final three rounds of winners, which are for those earning National Merit-sponsored and college-sponsored scholarships, on May 8, May 29 and July 15.
