Anyone in Arizona heard anything yet?
Wow:( They are not doing any favor to the recipients of the award. Colleges won’t take it serious.
We are in Tx and got ours at 1am
Nothing for us in Arizona.

You can search for colleges that offer scholarships for this. Congrats! U of Alabama offers 4 years of tuition and a year of housing, I believe (they call it something like Diversity scholarship). Arizona State offers either full tuition or close to it, and I THINK maybe also U of Arizona. Maybe Kentucky?? The other schools offer some money, not all. Good luck, great news!
Well is your school on the Rural list? You automatically get it then.
Check the list (someone posted here) and see if your school is on the list. Sometimes because of census data or I don’t know what…it is in that category. I don’t think it matters a lot as far as the scholarships at colleges go…I think most offer same money for both. Also, I think maybe cutoff scores are different for the different awards and maybe she didn’t qualify for Hispanic? Or do you know that she did? If you find a college that only accepts that and not Rural, and you know she qualified for Hispanic, I would think you could talk about that with an admissions person and get them to make an exception.
Hi! Some colleges offer scholarships for NRP students.
“Students interested in National Recognition Programs should sign up for the College Board Student Search Service®. This program connects students with universities and scholarship programs across the country. Universities and scholarship programs use Student Search to find students awarded recognition.”
Also you can look on college websites to see if they offer scholarships for this award. The colleges that do get a list from the college board and grant the scholarship after acceptance.
Arizona State University, University of Arizona, and Texas A&M are a few that I am aware of that have good scholarships for NRP students. My daughter just added ASU to her list because they offer a full tuition scholarship.
