So, I'm trying to figure out which colleges are most likely to offer National Merit Scholarships. Is there a list of schools somewhere that partner with the program? If so, where would I find this list?
Congratulations on your interest in the National Merit Scholarship program! There are quite a few colleges that partner with the program, offering different scholarships to National Merit finalists or semi-finalists. While there isn't one official list of all participating colleges, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's website does feature a 'Scholarship Providers' section where you can find some of the partnering colleges and universities. You can visit their website at: https://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/interior.aspx?sid=1758&gid=2&pgid=1879
Another helpful resource is CollegeVine's blog, where they've published a list of colleges that offer National Merit Scholarships. You can find this list under their guidance blog section or simply by Googling, 'CollegeVine National Merit Scholarship list.'
Keep in mind that colleges might update their scholarship offerings from time to time, so it's always a good idea to double-check with each school you’re considering.
