University of Central Florida (UCF) appears to still offer a National Hispanic Scholarship but the criteria to qualify and the amount are unclear.
Contact to get more information (same as for NMS) is provided on that page National Hispanic Scholarship | UCF Office of Student Financial Assistance
Wichita State University (WSU) in Kansas still says that WSU National Merit Scholarship is open to National Hispanic Recognition Finalists (~12.5K/year scholarship). Criteria to qualify are unclear, and no mention of out-of-state tuition waiver.
Best to contact university for details via WSU National Merit Scholarship (wichita.edu)
Iowa State appears to also offer something to National Recognition Program recipients but criteria to qualify and guaranteed amount are unclear (full-tuition is possible but not guaranteed as only one hundred “George Washington Carver” full-tuition scholarships are available).
Contact information available at National Scholars | Office of Admissions (iastate.edu)
EDIT:
Retroactively adding link to page on automatic freshmen merit awards mentioned by @AnonDad2026 in post 424 which can serve as baseline ($11K/year for 3.50 GPA + 30 ACT / 1360 SAT for out-of-state students): Freshman Awards - Military dependents living abroad | Office of Admissions (iastate.edu)
Iowa State - can be considered for Automatic Freshman Merit Awards, merit based and do not preclude from other financial aid. For automatic award enter state and look at table based on GPA. Range from $1500 to $11,000 (based on Texas) lowest GpA on table was 3.0. Plus student can try for the GWC Award as mentioned.
Yes, this Rural and Small Town Recognition Program list is crazy! I have just noticed that the Lawrenceville School is listed. Some consider it to be the best private boarding high school in NJ. They charge over 70K/year!
So skimming from several threads and the long list that was an attachment, this is the list of schools that I could no longer find mention of NHRP or CBRP scholarships. In some cases I found archived mentions of scholarships that are no longer offered - some within the last year, some have not been offered for several years.
Alma College, Ball State University (discontinued per webpage), Bethel College, California State – Long Beach – President’s Scholar’s Program -after extensive search of web site, found that NMSC and NHRP disappeared from applicability in their catalog after 2018-19, Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic University, Fort Hays State University (seemed to be tied to Honors college in past, but no longer mentions NMSC or NHRP), George Washington University, Hendrix College, Johns Hopkins (was $1500-$5,000), Knox College, LSU, Miami University Ohio, New Mexico State University (used to be Conroy Honors), North Carolina Central University, Ohio State University, Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma State University, South Carolina State, Texas Christian University, University of Alabama – Huntsville (Full tuition in fall 2021, doesn’t seem to exist anymore) - UA Birmingham still has a partial a UA Tuscaloosa stil has full tuition, University of Arkansas – Monticello, UC Davis, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, University of Chicago (up to $10k), University of Kentucky (Patterson Scholarship), University of Rochester, University of Texas – Dallas, University of Vermont (Vermont Merit Scholarship – had to be a resident, finalist for NMSC or recognized by NHRP – no longer offered since 2016 and amount went down final year– from UVT web site), Vanderbilt, Wesleyan College (Georgia), Westminster College, Wheaton College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
If anybody has info that disputes any of these please feel free to point me to a link - I just couldnt find anything.
I have a list in alphabetical order of schools that still offer - with links - I can post that later
Looking forward to the list! Don’t you think that it makes sense to also include scholarships that are automatic based exclusively on test-score and GPA (like Alabama Huntsville) or where the automatic part is based on test-score and GPA with a separate additional competitive component (like Iowa State), or where the automatic baseline is based on test-score and GPA and the additional component automatic (like University of Arizona used to be until last year and will hopefully remain where NHRP would give $5K on top of potentially already very generous baseline)?
That’s an interesting proposition, but I think a much more daunting task. For example I know my child would qualify for the full U Arizona tuition scholarship without the NHRP based on SAT and GPA. I could add U Utah to that list and others, where the SAT scores and gpa would automatically qualify for full or partial tuition scholarships regardless of NHRP status. Some of the schools I listed as no longer having NHRP, the scores and GPA would be good enough for automatic scholarships at some of them, but since this was an NHRP discussion, I stuck to that. We may need to start a different t thread to tackle automatic scholarships based on SAT scores and GPA.
OK, FWIW - I said I would put together my list so far, and here it is. This is in no way meant to be all inclusive, just trying to gather the latest in one spot. I scoured through 3 or 4 threads plus a large attachment and looked at what schools were listed in the past as offering some form of scholarship for the National Recognition Program (Now College Board Recognition Program). I focused on NHRP, sometimes called NHS. If I saw any others listed (African American, Indigenous, or Rural and Small Town Recognition) , I noted it - but I probably started that about half way through. Please feel free to add to the list - i already posted a whole long list of colleges above from the list I had that I could find no indication that they are still offering NHRP/CBRP scholarships.

Wow, @AnonDad2026 this is amazing!! Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting this list together!!
Nice work @AnonDad2026
Two minor observations:
For ASU out-of-state scholarship is indeed full out-of-state tuition (worth about 120K over four years), but for in-state it is currently a flat 16K/year, equivalent to full in-state tuition + ~5K/year which can be applied against fees and/or housing (so worth only about half the out-of-state scholarship on paper but worth an extra 20K over four years in practice due to the difference between out-of-state and in-state tuition rates).
For University of New Mexico, new non-resident freshmen with a 3.0 GPA or a test score of 20 ACT or 1030 SAT may be eligible to pay the tuition and fee rate of New Mexico residents if awarded a scholarship, in which case it appears that the $11,000/y would stack. @WayOutWestMom can probably confirm.
Actually I don’t know if the two scholarships can be stacked. You’d need to contact UNM’s Scholarship Office and ask.
Thanks! Technically it would just be one scholarship + out-of-state tuition waiver like a few universities seem to do but you are right that it should be confirmed by contacting the scholarship office.

# Provost Scholarship
I also came across this one this afternoon - Not sure if National Achievement works - some schools seem to use them interchangeably.
University of Tennessee:
Provost Scholarship | One Stop Student Services (utk.edu)
This four-year scholarship is awarded to National Merit finalists and National Achievement finalists.
In combination with the National Merit Scholarship, it is valued at $2,000 per year and may be added to other scholarships awarded by UT. It is available to both Tennessee residents and out-of-state students.
So on this page UNM Admissions & Support I found these words:
“**Non-New Mexico Resident National Scholars and Regents Scholarship award winners also receive the Amigo Scholarship to cover out of state tuition.”
The ** is next to NHS and NAIS as well as National Merit and Regents Scholarsip.
Was everyone’s school notified via email? My son got an email, but super annoying that the school did not. They checked spam folder, etc. I emailed CBRP, but you know how helpful they are - they said the school should have received it, check spam folder. They have not replied to subsequent follow-up from me. My son was also one who never received an invitation (and should have - took PSAT normal date, qualifying score, etc.). Thanks!
Does anyone have a phone number for CBRP that actually works and has someone answering that can help?? All I can find is the general College Board number, and they don’t have a clue.
