The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)–a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year–and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements.

Founded in 1857, Saint John’s Prep is a Catholic/Benedictine private day and boarding school, providing students, of all faiths, in grades 6-12 with a college-preparatory curriculum.  Busing and scholarships are available.  For more information, we encourage you to attend our Open House on October 1, visit www.sjprep.net or call 320-363-3315.
