<li><p>Does anyone know the amount or conditions? It seems to be something they don't like to talk about since the finaid office will discuss all other scholarships but this one. All I can get out of anyone is that "Oh there's a scholarship for that." It's not even listed on the site's scholarship page. =/</p></li>
<li><p>About IB credits.. Does this table: FSU</a> Admissions | Credit | IB Credit</p></li>
</ol>
<p>consider both higher and standard level exams to be the same, or is it just not considering standard level exams? </p>
<ol>
<li>I noticed that for ITGS, it says that there is no direct equivalent, but that they award up to 6 credits for it. How does that work? o.O</li>

<p>I tried to find out if there were any scholarships for NMF or National Hispanic Scholars but had no luck getting anything out of them. Good luck. If you find out something please post. I do know that they give out a freshman scholarship worth $9600 but don’t know what it takes to earn this scholarship.</p>
<p>Q: Does Florida State offer the National Merit Scholarship?
The Office of Admissions offers a limited number of scholarships to National Merit Finalists, National Achievement Finalists, and National Hispanic Scholars. Please contact our office for more information.</p>
<p>but when you try to contact them, they won’t say anything about the specifics. I guess I’ll just wait until late January when I actually find out if I made it or not…</p>
<p>I have heard FSU has made a conscious decision not to “buy” national merit students any more. FSU still offers nice NM scholarships to state candidates.</p>
<p>I hope they don’t try to deduct anything when they find out I have a couple of other scholarships coming in (on top of the Florida Bright Futures scholarship) or I’ll have $0 spending money…</p>
<p>Oh and for any other prospective students, go to the collegeweeklive.com thing. It IS worth it. You can talk to admission reps and officers, actual students, and more. They answer questions on anything and they can actually pull your file at any time if need be. It was really insightful.</p>
<p>I know this is old, but since FSU didn’t receive my 1970 SAT score in time, I won’t find out about the Freshman Incentive Scholarship until the second round of scholarships are sent out (the leftovers from those who don’t accept it in the first round) in March, and I guess I’m now relying on the National Achievement Scholarship from FSU.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the monetary value? I know it’s the same as NMFs, but no one I’ve asked has been able to tell me anything, and my dad (lives in the Bahamas so I rarely get to talk to him) is trying to get me to find out how much I’ll definitely need for next year.</p>
<p>Here’s what I got out of them…25 scholarships worth 6k per year for a total of 24k…15 scholarships go to National Merit Finalist, 5 to National Hispanic Scholars, and 5 to National Achievement students…</p>
<p>6k a year?! That means I should get 18k (I’ll graduate in 3 years) and only need to take out about a $5,000 loan at most during my entire undergrad education (I have a few other scholarships coming in on top of bright futures). I guess I just have to make sure I notify them ASAP after I find out whether or not I’m a finalist since it seems like it’s given out on a first-come-first-served basis.</p>
