National Achievement/National Merit

<p>I’ve noticed many times colleges that offer scholarships for National Merit also provide National Achievement money. I was just wondering if National Achievement Scholars get the same perks at almost every place (because I’m borderline National Merit … 212 PSAT but really sure I’ll get Natl Achievement for black people).</p>

<p>Please let me know. Thank you.</p>

<p>Not sure what you mean by same perks at every place. I think you can expect the offers will vary, but you can also expect the offers you get will be very impressive. Know of a guy who was National Merit and National Achievement (Class of 2005) and I heard he got loads of free tuition offers. He’s going to Iowa State for free. Okla, Neb, U of Alabama, and many others will be after you. Congrats and enjoy the many choices you will have! Good luck!</p>

Maybe there is a similar link for Natl Achievement.</p>

<p>I mean as in if you say you’re National Achievement, that means if you’re considered for National Merit money too.</p>

<p>Because I’m pretty sure I barely missed Merit…</p>
