National
Achievement Scholarship Program
The
National Achievement Scholarship Program is an academic competition
established in 1964 to provide recognition for outstanding Black
American high school students.
Black
students may enter both the National Achievement Program and the
National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National
Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and meeting other
published requirements for participation.
The
two annual programs are conducted concurrently but operated and
funded separately. A student's standing is determined independently
in each program. Black American students can qualify for recognition
and be honored as Scholars in both the National Merit Program
and the National Achievement Program, but can receive only one
monetary award from NMSC.
Location:
$2,500
Deadline:
