The National Merit Scholarship is a scholarship for high scores on the PSAT. It is a nationwide competition and recognizes students for high scores. Only about 2% of the graduating senior class receive the award.
National Merit Semifinalists are students who score in the top 1% of PSAT takers and meet state-specific score cutoffs. Semifinalists are eligible to compete for the National Merit Scholarship.
Commended Scholars are students who score in the top 2-3% on the PSAT but do not meet the score cutoff to become a Semifinalist.
