$2500 National Merit Scholarship

<p>So who has actually received it?</p>

<p>i got it...</p>

<p>but i mean, it's not really gonna make that big of a dent in my 200K Harvard education...</p>

<p>When? And was it an actual check or does it go through the university somehow?</p>

<p>i got it a while ago... um, the letter i received in early march told me that they would notify my first choice school of the scholarship. so i'm guessing that it goes through the university somehow.</p>

<p>Yes, they will send the check directly to the university, and it will be deducted from your bill.</p>

<p>I got the 2500 national achievement scholarship... ive seen both NA and NM letters and they say they send the scholarship to your school in like september i think. I actually dont get to use mine b/c my school limits the amount of scholarship you can recieve to your need and i already have 100% need met by scholarships</p>

<p>Is the NMSC finished awarding its scholarships? If I haven't gotten one by now, is there no chance of getting one? I sent in my first-choice school card a couple weeks ago.</p>

<p>You can contact your 1st choice school & ask them if they will be awarding you anything based on your naming them your 1st choice school with NM. Some schools are quite generous while others award nothing or a token one-time $500 or something. There are many schools in between. The school my son will attend offered 1/2 tution for 4 years to NMFs, which we find quite generous.</p>

<p><my heart=""> Congrats on getting full scholarships for all your need! That's awesome & must be a great relief for your folks.</my></p>

<p>I think the NM sponsored and corporate sponsored scholarships have been sent out by now. Now the college sponsored scholarships are being sent; my daughter just got hers yesterday (by the way, she did not send her card in until April 10th).</p>

<p>My S got the rejection letter yesterday.</p>

<p>yeah, i got mine a few days ago...haha the letter came with a may 1st deadline and i got it around april 28</p>

<p>My D got her letter of "regret" from NM today....no $ here...</p>

<p>Congratulations to all who received the one-time $2500 award.</p>
