National Merit Scholarship

If you are a National Merit finalist, have listed BYU as your first-choice school, and qualify to receive a Presidential or Heritage scholarship, you may receive a BYU-sponsored National Merit Scholarship instead, which pays full Latter-day Saint tuition for up to eight semesters. National Merit Scholarships are sponsored either by National Merit, a corporation, or BYU. If you are sponsored by National Merit or a corporation, you will not be eligible to receive a BYU-sponsored National Merit Scholarship. All National Merit decisions will be announced after June 1.
