To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. To become a Finalist, the Semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed application that includes an academic record along with documentation that corroborates their participation in school and civic activities. The application also requires a description of leadership abilities and honors received by the candidate.
