An estimated $5 million in merit scholarships and other a wards are at stake in the nation al competition, now beginning its fourth year. Some $12 million in merit scholarships have been awarded in the first three years of the program. Merit Scholarships are pro vided by some 80 corporations, foundations, professional socle ties and individuals, as well as by the National Merit Scholar ship Corporation itself which con ducts the competition. The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is a three-hour measure of educational growth and aptitude. Emphasis is on broad intellectual skills, and on understanding and ability to use what has been learned, rather than on sheer knowledge of facts. A group of 10,000 students composed of the highest scor ers in each state will advance to the Semifinals when the re sults are reported to all partici pating schools next fall. Semi-finalists will then take a second examination. Those who repeat their high performance on the second examination will become finalists in the program and will indicate their choice of college and course of study. Fur ther evaluation of their grades, citizenship and extracurricular achievements will follow and the winners will be announced In the spring of 1959. The test results will be avail able at the beginning of the sen ior year, in time for use by sen iors and their class advisors. The scores may also be used in many high schools to help stu dents make decisions about col lege and the most appropriate courses to major in. Many stu dents throughout the country who do not expect to win have registered for the test, in order to learn more about their indiv idual strengths and weaknesses. Dr. John M. Stalnaker, pres ident of the National Merit Schol arship Corp., recently caution ed that there are many reas ons why test results cannot be used to evaluate school perform ance. The distribution of the population throughout the state, the size of the school, the native intelligence of its top students, the percentage of students tak ing the test, the nature of the community where the school is located, the purpose of the sch ool and many other factors hav ing nothing to do with the total effectiveness of the school can influence its number of finalists. The test results will, however, enable students as individuals, to compare their scores with other students across the nat ion. The test was constructed by Science Research Associates of Chicago and will also be scored and reported by the testing a gency. Each Merit Scholarship car ries a stipend based on the need of each individual winner, and is renewable -annually without further competitive examinat ion. The average stipend in past years has been $650 per year. The minimum award in the 1958 59 program will be $100 a year and a maximum will be $1,500. a year. The names of all program fi nalists will be sent to colleges and universities and other schol arship organizations throughout the country. In this way many non-winning finalists are help ed in winning scholarships a warded directly by colleges and other organizations.
