Just announced this week…

The PSAT on Jan 26th has been cancelled by many schools.

For 11th graders who wanted to take the PSAT in order to qualify for National Merit Scholarships, this was a blow. Only juniors who have NOT or will not take the PSAT can follow this process below.

Here is the alternative to preserve scholarship options!

Based on a discussion with National Merit Corp today to find out how 11th graders can still be eligible for National Merit Scholarships (and other scholarships based on the PSAT, this is what they said:

1) The student needs to go to http://forms.nationalmerit.org/alternateentry and register. This must be done by April 1, 2021.

2) The student needs to take the March 13th and/or May 8th 2021 SAT.

3) The student needs to go into their CollegeBoard account, click “Send Scores” and send them to National Merit by using the code “0085”.

Scores have to be sent to National Merit Corp no later than Oct 15, 2021, but it is best to do it once you have your test scores from the March or May test.

(And of course, this opportunity is only for juniors who did not get the chance to take the PSAT through school this year. Students in other grades do not need to do this.) Please contact homeschool@PalmettoFamily.org with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

Please find (links below) information about the mail-in contest for the Middle/Elementary School
Academy of Science (MESAS) sponsored by The Center for Science Education (CSE) at USC &
South Carolina Academy of Science (SCAS), produced by faculty and staff at Universities &
Colleges in South Carolina and members of SCAS.
I have attached two MESAS Contests for your students (one for grades 4-6 “E Contest” and one
for grades 6-8 “M Contest”). Please make as many copies as you need and distribute to your
students. I hope your students have fun and learn something by competing in the contest. Each
student who participates will be recognized and each school that participates will have at least
one winner. Winners will be announced in the SCJAS and SCAS newsletters and the SCAS
Bulletin. The deadline for entry is Monday, March 1, 2021. The authors of the 2021 contest
include Dr. Don Jordan and members of SCAS. We also have significant support from the
Center for Science Education College of Arts & Sciences at UofSC.
We encourage students to use reference resources of all types, including the internet.
However, we strongly discourage parent’s assistance in finding the answers. This is a
competitive contest meant to teach the children new methods of learning and exploring. We
love the parent’s involvement, but require the students find the answers on their own for
this contest. Questions are prepared with respect to the standards for SC.
The South Carolina Academy of Science Annual Meeting will be held in the Spring at USC
Aiken, Aiken SC. We hope to announce the winners of the SC Academy of Science MESAS
Mail-in Contest by April 15, 2021
There will be lots of winners, not just one or two. We recognized at least one winner at each school
and sometimes at each grade level. Certificates and prizes will be mailed out to each student’s principal
so that the awards can be presented at the school’s Awards Assembly. We have four levels of
winners: School, Region, State, and Grand Winners.
Results will be returned to Teachers/Parents/Principals. (See contest rules next page for more details)
We also encourage MESAS students to participate in their regional science fair in March/April
of 2021. Check with your regional science fair director whose address can be found on the web
at Center for Science Education site.
