Semifinalists advance to Finalist standing in the competition by meeting high academic standards and all other National Merit Scholarship Competition requirements. These requirements include: plans to enroll as a full-time college student in the fall of 2017, U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status, endorsement by their high school principal, and a record of consistently high academic performance throughout high school. Although Commended Students will not continue in the 2017 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, these students are among the elite in their school, county, state, and nation.
