The competition is conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), an independent, nonprofit organization established in 1955 and devoted solely to scholarship activities. In each annual Merit Program, intellectually able high school students are identified and honored and up to 4,100 are awarded Merit Scholarships for college undergraduate study. Since 1956, about 54,000 Merit Scholarships worth more than $148 million have been awarded to academically talented young people throughout the nation. Over one million students enter each years competition by taking the qualifying test the at the proper time in their high school program. Students in each of the 50 states who are U.S. citizens, who meet published eligibility requirements, and whose scores place them in the top half of one per cent of the graduating seniors in their respective states are named Semifinalists. A state representational method is used to designate Semifinalists and .Vhe number named is proportionate to a states percentage of the total U.S. secondary school graduating class. In each state, a minimum Selection Index score level is established for Semifinalist standing, and qualifying scores vary slightly from one state to another. NMSC arranges the Selection Index scores of all participants in descending order and determines the level at which the states allocation of Semifinalists is filled; this becomes the state qualifying score and all eligible students scoring at or above city workshops. The workshops are held each year to study new methods of governing cities and experts are invited to speak from around the country, according to Scott Ess don, Ogden City Council member. The meetings are held in St. George eery year, according to Mayor Halley and he feels that there is no justification for officials from other parts of the state traveling so far when the meetings could be held in a more central location. St. George has 1 per cent of the stale population and I don't think that representatives from the other 99 per cent should waste tax dollars to travel to St. George just because the weather is good." Reviewed Sam Lower, mayor of Plain Gly, reviewed a bill pending in the legislature that concerns the sales tax debate which has been of major concern to area cities over the last four BUI months. House Joint Resolution 13 is a bill that will make the Sty SO split a state wide law," Lower said. According to Lower the 5080 split refers to a compromise that will allow cities to distribute sales tax revenue by 90 er cent returned to point of collection and SO per cent returned to cities based on their population.
