How much does U of R award for National Merit Scholars?

On their [merit scholarships page](https://enrollment.rochester.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/#tab2) under the National Scholarships section, it says this:

National Merit Scholarship
This scholarship recognizes students who achieve Finalist status with the National Merit Scholarship Program and designate the University of Rochester as their first-choice college.

Does anyone know how much they give? Is the scholarship renewable or not? On [Cappex[/url] and [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/16465904/#Comment_16465904%5Dpast”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/16465904/#Comment_16465904]past CC threads](https://www.cappex.com/page/meritAid/programDetail.jsp?id=195030&program=388877), it says that it can be anywhere from $17k-$22k yearly, but it’s probably changed since then. Also, does it stack with other merit scholarships?

@pineappledragon have spoken with Admissions several times about this

They award a guaranteed minimum of $20K/yr. and may give you as much as $25K/yr.
It does not stack, unfortunately.

That’s unfortunate. At least they’re very generous for National Merit Scholars. Thanks for the answer!
