In case anyone was doubting that the big NMF award is still available to NMF and NA late applicants to Alabama, I sent an email to the Executive Director of Admissions and this was the written response:
"Yes, the student may apply and change his college of choice to UA prior to May 1 with the NMCorporation to receive our NMF package. The student would also need to submit the NMCorporation confirmation of his finalist status. "
