The students named as this year's recipients in the 63rd annual program represent fewer than one percent of high school seniors in the nation.

About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to be named finalists, and about half the finalists will win a scholarship, either a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship or a merit scholarship sponsored by a college or corporation.
