<p>Quill Pen,</p>
<p>You understood my scenario correctly. For some reason, I was under the impression that the college-sponsored NM awards might replace the (earlier awarded) “national” awards.</p>
<p>To summarize… National (corporate- or NMSC- sponsored) awards come out first. If you get one of those, you can’t get a college-sponosored NM award (thought colleges can and do give other “merit” scholarships). Correct?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
