<p>Do I have to mail a copy of my Finalist certificate to my college for them to give me the award for NAF, or will they know and grant me the award?</p>
<p>For the Us our S applied to, he had to indicate that the school he’d be attending was his 1st choice with the College Board before his NMF scholarship award was final. He was told by the Us what the award WOULD be if he chose them as his 1st choice. One U didn’t give him ANY award because he didn’t name them as his 1st choice school. Some Us do NOT give any monetary awards for NMF while some give a lot (up to a full ride).</p>
<p>Ok, thanks. I’ve already put the school as my first choice, I just wasn’t sure if I had to inform them as well</p>
<p>Some schools do require a copy of the award - this is in the case of “unofficial” NMF/NAF awards. You will have to check with the schools.</p>
