[quote=Anonymous]The National Merit Scholarship is more prestigious since the corporate sponsored ones are only partially merit based due to those scholarships being limited to the employees of the sponsoring companies. Selection criteria for National Merit Scholarships: Each scholarship winner was evaluated on his or her academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay describing interests and goals; and a recommendation from a high school official. The number of winners named in a state is in proportion to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors.[/quote]
