The program gives academically talented high school seniors scholarship opportunities.
Semifinalists represent less than one percent of all U.S. high school seniors. Students qualify based on how well they score on the Preliminary SAT or PSAT. Approximately 16,000 students are chosen out of the 50,000 highest scorers. From that pool, 15,000 students are expected to advance to the finalist level, at which scholarship winners will be selected. Finalists will be announced in February 2021.
