<p>This list was not compiled by me but I've checked most of the links. They work. </p>
<p>It's a pretty complete list though there may be others.</p>
<p>Most offer big benefits to Semifinalists as well as Finalists.</p>

<p>Most offer big benefits to Semifinalists as well as Finalists.</p>
<p>Some of those places also offer wonderful aid for National Merit Commended, National Achievement and National Hispanic Scholars and/or for students with high SAT scores.</p>
<p>Question: Who gets the money? Specifically, who gets the $2500 awards?</p>
<p>jellybean: Many of the schools listed award full tuition + room and board scholarships to semifinalists and finalists.</p>
<p>Another huge bunch of schools award the$2500 amount, one time only to semifinalists and Finalists. </p>
<p>Also the National Merit Corp awards $ 2500 to Finalists</p>
<p>You are elgible for only one award.</p>
<p>Choose wisely.</p>
