<p>I was just wondering if I have to submit my CommonApp by Dec. 1 to receive the NMF Presidential Scholarship, since all the other scholarships have Dec. 1 application deadlines.</p>
<p>No. But if you do submit by Dec 1, you will also be considered for the larger merit scholarships, including those for full-tuition and even more. My advice: get it in!</p>
<p>I agree with madbean-- get your app in by Dec. 1 even though you think you may be NMF. Give yourself an opportunity to possibly get one of the rare larger scholarship interview invites and go to Explore USC.</p>
