CLEVELAND MYERS The national Merit Scholar- ship Program was established in 1955 through grants from the Ford Foundation and the Car- negie Corporation. Purposes: To produce a wider and deeper respect for learning in general and for exceptionally talented students. To encourage the pursuit of excellence at all intellectual levels. To encourage increased assist- CHILD GUIDANCE ' Says Scholarship Program Aids America's Future 3,037 students were named Merit Scholars. Of that number 2,043 held scholarships financed through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's found- ing grant, and 1,894 held scholar- ships financed by sponsors. To encourage students to con- tinue their education, Certifi- cates of Merit are awarded an- nually to finalists and a Letter of Commendation is awarded to those scoring just below the semifinalists. The achievements of about 35,000 students have been recognized in this way. Records show that about 95 per cent of the finalists and 90 per cent of the commended stu- ance for gifted students with fi- nancial need and greater sup- port by private and public econ- omy of educational institutions. To gain more knowledge of ways to discover and develop talented youths. In 1956 more than 10,000 high schools participated in the pro- gram's first annual scholarship competition, and in 1959 nearly dents go on to college and that 15,000 high schools participated. |in 1960 about 17,000 out of the During the period 1956 - 60(35,000 students received finan- clal ald from sources other than the Merit Program. The amount of help granted a Merit Scholar is based upon his financial needs. The average stipend paid to him in the first year of college increased from $628 in 1956, or $2,500 for the four years, to $827 in 1960, or $3,300 for four years. There are 3,132 Merit Scholars now attending 391 colleges. Of the 555 Merit Scholars entering college in 1956, 461 have gradu- ated. Almost 80 per cent of these were graduated with demi honors. Over 60 per cent were elected to one or more national academic honor societies. LEADERSHIP HONORS Nearly one in five won cam- pus or national honors for lead- ership in extracurricular activi- ties or student organizations. Three out of four have entered graduate or professional schools. These facts are based on the National Merit Scholarship Cor- poration Annual Report 1960; 1580 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, 1llinois. More information can be obtained from any local high school principal. All this should be of special interest to the bright youth whose parents don't have enough money to pay his way through college. But no one should be over-optimistic. Very few can hope to win. Thousands of other smart youths will need scholarships if they are not to be penalized for being relatively poor. PARENTS' QUESTIONS G.
