<p>I'm a junior this year, but am graduating a year early, and I will be walking with the senior class in the spring. Does this disqualify me from NMF? Can anybody post a link clarifying eligibility criteria?</p>

<p>Last year, I helped a junior who was graduating early get a NMF scholarship from a college. There is a way to still make NMF, but contact NMCorp and have them tell you how.</p>
<p>BTW…It’s not easy getting a NMF scholarship when you graduate early since you won’t actually be named a NMF until towards the end of your frosh year in college. For the student that I helped, the school agreed to give free tuition for the first year, and then the full NMF package for soph, jr, sr years (since at that point the student would be a NMF).</p>
<p>Do you know your scores already?</p>
<p>Thanks, mom2college kids!
No, potato, I do not know my scores yet. My school said I will get them sometime in December. I’m just assuming my scores are good enough, here.
The school I’m applying ED to actually doesn’t offer any merit-based scholarships, but I would still like the title to put on my applications.</p>
<p>You won’t be able to put the title on your applications because you will not have been named an NMF until Feb of 2013.</p>
<p>The scores that you get next month might only suggest that you’ll make NMSF, since each state’s cut-off would be unknown at that time. Even if you were to score a 240, you might be certain that you’ll make NMSF and later NMF, you still won’t be able to say that you are one.</p>
