Is it possible to get a stipend from NMSC and from another independent corporation?

<p>...and/or from a university as well? </p>

<p>I'm sorry if this is a dumb question; I've looked at the website and everything but I can't figure out if the scholarships are mutually exclusive.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>edit: I looked harder. Under a section of <a href="http://www.nationalmerit.org/Merit_R&I_Leaflet.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nationalmerit.org/Merit_R&I_Leaflet.pdf&lt;/a> where they describe Sponsor colleges, one of the requisites is that the student:</p>

college-sponsored award). No student will receive more than one scholarship offer from NMSC.

<p>But I still don't know if that means that independent corporate sponsorships and NMSC are mutually exclusive, even if university and NMSC or corporate are...</p>

<p>(Did we finish our game?)</p>

<p>It looks to me like you just can't win more than one scholarship from them... like NMS and the one for URMs.</p>

<p>My kids both won NMS and a corporate major scholarship; you just have to make sure that the corporation isn't listed on NMS's website. Otherwise you are going to win one or the other. The corporation they won the scholarship from used to be listed there and I assume they took it off because students were missing out.</p>

<p>If a corporation scholarship is through NMSC then you can only get either the NMSC or the corporation scholarship. However, the college sponsor scholarships are different. They usually have a NM component which might be $2000 or so but they can then offer you more in addition to that. The $2000 component is mutually exclusive from the corporation or the NMSC scholarship but the additional portion is not. Take ASU as an example. Their NMS is $23000 for OOS student which includes everything that you get from NMSC. In other words, whether you get a corporation NMS or NMSC scholarship the total together is $23000.</p>
