National Achievement/National Merit

<p>I've noticed many times colleges that offer scholarships for National Merit also provide National Achievement money. I was just wondering if National Achievement Scholars get the same perks at almost every place (because I'm borderline National Merit ... 212 PSAT but really sure I'll get Natl Achievement for black people).</p>

<p>Please let me know. Thank you.</p>

<p>Not sure what you mean by same perks at every place. I think you can expect the offers will vary, but you can also expect the offers you get will be very impressive. Know of a guy who was National Merit and National Achievement (Class of 2005) and I heard he got loads of free tuition offers. He's going to Iowa State for free. Okla, Neb, U of Alabama, and many others will be after you. Congrats and enjoy the many choices you will have! Good luck!</p>

<p>P.S. Check this link out for places giving free tuition to National Merit:

Maybe there is a similar link for Natl Achievement.</p>

<p>I mean as in if you say you're National Achievement, that means if you're considered for National Merit money too.</p>

<p>Because I'm pretty sure I barely missed Merit...</p>
