In October 2015, over 1.5 million U.S. high school students, who took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and met other program participation requirements, entered the 2016 competition for National Merit Scholarship Program recognition and scholarships. NSMC uses PSAT/NMSQT Selection Index scores – the sum of critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills scores- to determine 50,000 high scoring participants who qualify for program recognition.

Nearly two-thirds of those high scorers received National Merit Scholar Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise.
