I know corporate sponsored scholarships were announced yesterday . Is there a way to find the name of all the winners for that ( Its not on the NMF home page )
Also my daughter was a finalist does she have to declare a school BEFORE they will consider her for an award ? Thanks in advAnce as I’m brand new to this
National Merit Corporation does not publish a list of semifinalists, finalists or scholarship winners. Instead they make the lists available to news media on specified release dates. News media in different states and areas have different ways of releasing them in news articles, and how and whether they are released varies each year. Some school districts make a big fuss over their National Merit kids, and their names are easy to find in multiple local news articles soon after the release date for each phase of the process.
States seem to have lists of semifinalists but not finalists. Sometimes there are lists of finalists in school news in local papers.
Generally I have seen the corporate and $2500 winners for a state in two separate lists. For some states you can find the lists almost as soon as they are made available by NMC. With others you sometimes have to wait a month or two. Google National Merit Corporate Scholarship and your state or city or local area and 2017.
There is a deadline for declaring the college, but kids are considered for the other NM awards before that deadline, so many kids are chosen for an award before they have declared their first-choice college.
