The National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) invited students that scored in the top 2.5 percent among Latino and Hispanic Preliminary SAT and National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test takers to apply for the recognition.
Every year, the NHRP recognizes about 5,000 of the 250,000 Hispanic/Latino high school juniors who take the test.
There is no scholarship awarded with this College Board sponsored program but colleges use the recognition to identify academically exceptional Hispanic/Latino students.
