The school ranked third in the number of Schol- ars it attracted, only two notches below Harvard and one above Yale. So how many National Merit Scholars were in UT’s 2010 fall freshman class? Just 50. The cause of the dramatic drop is not a mystery. This year UT stopped sponsoring National Merit Scholars with an automatic $13,000 disbursed over the course of four years, as the University had done since the early ‘80s and up until last year (though the University continues to fulfill its financial com- mitment to Merit Scholars who received the scholarship prior to its cut). As a result, fewer National Merit Scholars chose UT. Should an institution, particularly this institution, be recruiting National Merit Scholars with automatic financial aid? And what are the benefits of having National Merit Scholars attend UT in the first place? The first answer is no. The second answer; more complicated. Briefly consider how one becomes a National Merit Scholar: Every October, 11th-graders across the country have the opportunity to take the PSAT. If they score high enough — and the cutoff varies from state to state, putting some boarding school students at a severe disadvantage — they become We prefer the A-list National Merit semifinalists.
