OHIO — The National Merit Scholarship Program named 37 Ohio high school students winners of 2021 corporate-sponsored scholarships. More than 1.5 million students applied for the highly competitive scholarship and the program says that around 7,500 students will go on to win scholarships in 2021. Winners of the first-round of scholarships, all corporate-sponsored, were announced Wednesday morning and include approximately 1,000 high-school seniors from across the U.S. According to a press release from the National Merit Scholarship Program, the corporate scholarships are financed by about 140 corporations, company foundations and other business organizations. The awards are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study and students get a stipend that's anywhere between $1,000 - $10,000 each year.
