<p>If you are selected as a finalist, what scholarships can you get except for the ones offered by corporations and specific colleges. do some states chose to give scholarships to certain people who are finalists?</p>
<p>There are many schools, mostly are in the 2rd or 3rd tier but do have excellent Honor Colleges that will offer you big merit scholarships. Those scholarships might be in the name of NMF or just merit scholarship that your NMF status counts alot. This is very important to middle or upper middle income families that might not otherwise qualify much financial aid money base on need only. Many of the public schools are using funds from their states to recruit NMF's.</p>
