courses in high school and college, Miss Zinn stated.
After the test, each participating student receives a Handbook for Merit Program Participants, prepared by Science Research Associates, the testing agency. The Handbook is designed to help students understand their individual test results, to make - comparisons with scores of high school students across the country, and to use this information in making educational and vocatiorlal plans. Thus, students can learn more about their educational strengths and weaknesses, whether or not they plan to attend college. In addition to the awards made by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, about 230 business corporations, foundations, colleges, professional associations, unions, trusts, and individuals give scholarships through the Merit Program. A considerable number of other scholarship agencies utilize the services of NMSC in awarding their scholarships. In the period 1956-64, about 9,100 students have received Merit Scholarship awards and thousands of other high-scoring students have been assisted in obtaining financial aid from other sources.
