I was wondering if I could speak to a parent who has already been thru the process of the Benacquisto Scholarship from last year. My daughter is a NMSF and has all the requirements to be a finalist. She is applying to FSU, UF, UNC and UGA. Of course it seems like with this scholarship it would be a no brainer not to pick FSU or UF but still unclear how it all works and if she is awarded any other scholarships if those are deducted from the Benacquisto or if they all stack. I know the Benacquisto says that it pays out cost of attendance minus Bright Futures and any National Merit scholarships. Thanks! New mom to all of this and seems so overwhelming!
@afitzsi - I PM’ed you.
First, Congratulations to all you parents of NMFs’! 
Second, I too am like afitzi in it is all so new. My DD has received the NMSF, and we turned in all the paperwork by deadline for hopeful finalist designation. @ madredos, may I ask you to contact me as well?
I’d also love to hear from the parents whose daughter’s’ began this fall at UF. How are they liking it? How did it go with dorm choices, etc.
@MomofAlex1 - Of course. My D is at UF this fall. One of them. I PM’ed you.
