In a move that experts believe will have repercussions
across the country, the University of California has decided
to withdraw from the prestigious National Merit Scholarship
program and redirect the money to other merit-based grants.
Six of the system's nine undergraduate campuses had been sponsoring
the National Merit Scholarships for years. Last year, UC paid
about $735,000 in National Merit Scholarships to 618 students.
About 99 percent of the 1.3 million students who participate
in the National Merit Scholarship program are eliminated solely
on the basis of their PSAT score. The money is a fraction of
the $62 million in merit-based and $187.5 million in need-based
scholarships UC awarded two years ago. UC says it will honor
National Merit Scholarships already awarded. National Merit
Scholarship Corp. officials say they are disappointed with the
decision and don't see how they could broaden the selection
process in a feasible and timely way. All the public and private
