You can call National Merit for confirmation on the 19th
No list for NMF. NMSC does media announcement for NMSF and later for scholarship winners, but leaves NMF up to the HS.
We’re in Texas too. Arlington. Our principal does not notify the student. So we’re waiting for mail.
Isn’t it possible to call NMSC and ask our NMF status?
National Merit Corp. won’t release results over the phone until the 19th, and I was told they will be open that day.
Their number is (847) 866-5100. We can’t get results from them or our school … still waiting.
I use the USPS informed delivery service to check for college and NM letters everyday…I don’t recommend using it because it’s like waiting for the pot to boil.
Sorry I am not 100% sure on this process. So if a kid makes NMF, they sent a letter to home and school? In that case you are right my best bet perhaps is to watch the mail :).
@clemsongrad I think letters start coming out this week, but the schools are notified first.
@xxluvforeverxx when we received the principal letter (we homeschool) it did not show up in the informed usps notice that day because it was unusual size
@JBStillFlying Yes the in state gold was still 10,000 but she received two full tuition offers and is NMF so has some full or close to full ride options. For her though as a neuroscience major the U of MN dropped off her list when she saw scholarship offer and realized she will have to commute to the St Paul campus every day.
^^ Thanks @Mnacttutor - appreciate the head’s up. S19 will be high-commended, likely not NMSF, but wanted to know what the scholarship potential was for in-staters at UMN.
No notification in Northern CA. New Principal, so GC may need to prod him. Snail mail notification not here yet.
Yes, the administratior who gave me my NMF certificate said I should be getting a letter home soon (she said possibly that day but I think she was mistaken about that).
was notified by my school today! from PA
Update - GC just called my twins in - 2 NMF notifications. I figured it was going to happen, but started worrying something was screwed up. “Release the balloons!” Said the proud Dad.
Just got my letter!!! (Homeschooled in Houston, Tx)
Congrats to everyone who has heard! Hang in there all of you waiting!
DD got the Certificate of Merit from her principal today. We were pretty confident before the notification base on her stat and 93.75% “pass rate” :)) Actually all 10+ NMSF kids from her school are NMF now. Still it is pretty exciting and one more thing can be put aside. Next stop is late March decision week.
It would sure be nice to get word…
When did you receive your principal letter? we also homeschool.
