<p>Intparent: I can’t get to the essays at the moment either, but I was able to find on the National Merit Corporation website the four page instructions and requirements package. That doesn’t give essay prompt, but it has other info about steps and deadlines you will want.</p>
<p>Once your child logs into the website to create their application, the parents get an email for them to also have a logon. When you do that, you get the four page instructions and other info about the scholarship program.</p>
<p>Our school’s deadline is 1 Oct to get the application done; I’m sure most schools will do something similiar in advance of the 10 Oct submission deadline.</p>
