Each year, the National Hispanic Recognition Program honors more than 5,000 academically outstanding students from the more than 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
To be eligible, students must be at least one-quarter Hispanic/Latino (based on the program’s definition) and achieve a minimum PSAT/NMSQT score for their region.
Students with cumulative junior year grade-point average of 3.5 or higher are designated as Scholars.
