[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the 2026 list of sponsors. The selection criteria for corporate-sponsored scholarships are not listed, however.

Good luck![/quote]

Keep in mind that there are only a small number of corporate-sponsored scholarships available.

Of 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 become finalists.

Of those, 2500 will receive $2500 national merit awards. 3600 will be offered university-sponsored awards ranging from $500-$2000.

Only 830 finalists will receive corporate-sponsored awards of $2500-$10,000 — some as one-time awards, and some renewable for up to four years.

The kicker is this: Most — but not all — corporate-sponsored awards are reserved for the children of the sponsoring corporations’ employees. The NMSC doesn’t release those numbers, though 🤷‍♀️

Tl;dr there are only a handful of big ticket national merit scholarships available from corporate sponsors for non-employee families — and scant numbers or criteria for those are publicly available 🥳
