<p>If I have been given a full ride merit scholarship by a college and I am also a National Merit Finalist, will I still get the NMSC scholarship, and thus have extra money in college? Or does the NMSC not apply if all your aid is already met?</p>
<p>You get the merit scholarship no matter what.</p>
<p>However, some colleges reduce aid when a scholarship is reduced. Perhaps call the college's fin aid office and ask? It might be that you get extra spending money...</p>
<p>I see, thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Blatant curiosity, what did you get on your PSAT?</p>
