PSAT & THE NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
We administer the PSAT once every fall semester. We will be offering the PSAT on October 18, 2003 (Saturday) for students who want to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program. All juniors should take it, and underclassmen who want to prepare themselves for their junior testing may take it as well. The Merit program is an annual academic competition for recognition and college undergraduate scholarships conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. To learn more about this test, visit www.collegeboard.co. To find out more about the NMS program, visit www.nationalmerit.org. Contact the CIAS office to receive a free 2003 PSAT/NMSQT Student Bulletin. There is a $30 fee for the PSAT.

Another benefit from entering the PSAT data base is the broad exposure your scores will receive. Your scores will be sent to hundreds of college and universities across the nation, enabling you to qualify for many more scholarships than just the National Merit program.
