“Special Scholarships” are offered by corporate sponsors, according to the National Merit® Scholarship program website.

“To be considered for a Special Scholarship, students who meet a sponsor’s criteria must file entry forms that are made available through the sponsor organization,” according to organizers.

Candidates are then contacted through their respective high schools.

According to the National Merit website, approximately 740 outstanding students are recipients of “Special Scholarships” each year.

“Corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards and Special Scholarships are usually named for the sponsoring organization,” according to the website.
