The National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP) cutoff score for 2025 is the minimum score that a student must achieve on the PSAT/NMSQT to be considered for the National Merit Scholarship. The cutoff score varies from year to year and is determined by the NMSP based on the overall performance of all test takers. The cutoff score for 2025 has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be around 220.
The NMSP is a prestigious academic competition that recognizes and rewards academically talented high school students. Students who score above the cutoff score on the PSAT/NMSQT are eligible to apply for the National Merit Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership, and community service.
