Initiated in 1955, the National Merit Scholarship Program is conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance. A sizable number of National Merit Scholarships to be offered in 2020 will be underwritten by NMSC with its own funds, but most will be supported by some 400 independent corporate organizations and higher education institutions.
