<p>Hi I recently got accepted by Mizzou (my first choice) and i just finished the scholarship application too. I was overlooking some of the scholarships they have and I noticed that there is a National Merit Scholarship which waives the out of state tuition fee. I was wondering what I needed to do to apply for this or to get it because financially I don't know if I can attend Mizzou (which is a bummer). Awhile back I received a letter that I got the Mark Twain non-resident thing, but I don't think it will help a lot (but it is appreciated) but I don't know if that matters or anything. Thank you very much for your time.</p>
<p>you get the national merit scholarship if you score high enough on your PSAT's. did you take them?</p>
<p>If you are a senior you should already know if you are a National Merit semi finalist (which you need to be to be a finalist to get a National Merit Scholarship). It would be based on taking the PSAT your Junior year.</p>
<p>o dang, I never took the PSAT. I never knew anything about it until now. I guess its to late now for that scholarship? Thank you for the quick replies though.</p>
<p>Aside from helping with tuition in some places, National Merit is a lie, they actually have a lot of restrictions and very few people I know who became finalists last year actually got any money out of them. I suggest looking through online scholarships but then again, I have had no luck there at all :(. But best of luck to you.</p>
