I’m a National Merit Semifinalist who’s likely going to become a Finalist. I’m wondering what the story is with the Cyrus Northrop Scholarship (CNS) and the Gold Scholar Award. Do they stack? Are they all awarded on a case-by-base basis? (one NMF might receive both, one NMF might receive the second award but not the first, etc.) and how is that decided? When will I know?
From the UMN National Merit website link:
“Note: Students who receive the Gold Scholar Award are not eligible for the Cyrus Northrop Scholarship.”

Other scholarships should stack with either. Here is the list of university-wide scholarships:
