See you next week Juniors register for NMSC tests "Nearly 150 juniors have registered for the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test to be given in the school at 9 a.rri Tuesday, March 5, 1963," Mrs. Charlotte Whitney announced Thursday. Students who will. graduate from high school in 1964 and enter col lege in the same calendar year are eligible tor scholarship con sideration in the 1963 64 Merit Program.

To receive considera tion, the student must take thel test when it is offered in his school. Participating students pay a $1 fee on the day of the test. Awards 'in the Merit Program are granted on the basis of intellectual merit, but student financial needs determine the amount of individual stip ends. The stipends are renewable each year without further testing. "A student's performance on the qualifying test also provides him with information that is useful in career planning or in selecting courses in high school and col lege," Principal Herbert stated.

After the test, each participating student receives an interpretive folder prepared by the testing agency, Science Research Associates, that reports Individual test results for comparison with scores of high school students across the country. "Thus," said Mr. Adams, "students can learn more about their educational strengths and weaknesses whether or not they plan to attend college." In. addition to the awards made by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, about 150 business corporations, foundations, and individuals give scholarships through the Merit Program. Many other scholarship agencies utilize the services of NMSC in awardii their scholarships.
